Thanks. That seem to be the right disc.

I had a full licence (not OEM) of Window 7 Home premium. And I have upgraded to Window 10. Now I have put in more RAM to from 4 to 16 Gb. How do I reinstall a 64 bit Window 10?
Would appreciate your...

Can you elaborate the circumstance why you cannot install Linux? When you boot up your computer with a Linux install disc, cam you see the harddrive?
I assume you had Win 8 and Win 10 dual boot. So...

I did a clean install 3 hrs ago

Daniel

I have just downloaded and installed the latest build (as guest under Linuxmint and VMware player) . Window Update is not even there.

Daniel

That is not so any more. It installed smoothly now


Daniel

I wrote earlier that Linuxmint won't work for VMware player. But its latest version 7.1 has just been installed. I am happy as I am more familiar with VMware player than Virtualbox

Daniel

Well! Shouldn't Microsoft create an app simulating the use of Android ?
I do have the Cairo Dock which simulates the use of IOS under Linux. It is cool indeed


Daniel

You have come a long long way. Use "sudo su" instead and Let us know


Daniel

Do not intimidate him as I got away by reinstalling Wind 10 (reported earlier) . Do not ask me the exact reason why I got away as I have no clue.
Greg's harddrive is a small one and it costs little...

I second the simplified version. The original terminal command "sudo hdparm -iI /dev/sd? will list all the partition details which is very confusing for those unfamiliar with Linux.

Daniel

After reading carefully what gregrocker said, I think my hd issue was different from his.
After mid January, I only fool around via virtual player.
I was very careful already. I detached all...

Since you can boot the drive up, can you wipe and format that partition? And install either Ubuntu or Linuxmint there instead.
Mind you Win10 is only a TP. It works for a few months only.
...

Do not apply the patch. Install Wind 10 afresh and cure the 2 harddrives first.
I only have Windows10 via vitualplayer under ubuntu now. Foolproof

Daniel

By default and via expressed setting, both host and guest os are connected.

I run both 8.1 and 10 in VMware Player from an external eSata attached SSD. Performance is nearly the same as my host W7 on an internal SSD. Something must be wrong with your setup.[/QUOTE]

This...

Just set up vmplayer under a new partition of 14.04 LTS Ubuntu (host) and Win 10 (guest). Working fine now.
Not much luck with Linuxmint 17.1 though. Running Win 10 as guest in Virtualbox seems to...

You have the same problem I reported. I reinstalled Win 10 and that revived the lost hd. Then I have deleted it entirely hoping later build will cure the "lost hard drive" issue

Daniel

Actually I was stuck way earlier at the "module not loaded in kernel" when loading vmplayer and workstation ( borrowed). That was before attempt in virtualbox which is so far so good.

Daniel

What I meant was that I would rather test drive Win 10 in a virtual environment. Previously I ran it in my computer with other Oss. That was a big mistake as Win 10 likes to shut down at will to...

Yes. I have that enabled in the BIOS. Thanks for your input

Daniel

Edited: it is being installed now. Not bad. Thanks guys.
I would rather use it in the virtual environment instead of a...

Hope the image tells you everything.

No luck yet last night for an hour. Will try other tweaks as suggested above. Thanks guys

Daniel

Good. Will do that tonight. Thanks. I was playing around with the generic Window 32 bit

Daniel

Adamf， Superfly...Thanks for the quick reply.
I am using Linuxmint 17.1 as host. Win 10 Build 9901. I have tweaked the amount of video memory allocated (512 Mb now). Also I gave 4Gb of ram (max for...
