07.2.08Easiest way to copy files and then change OS from Win.XP to Mac’s Ubuntu?
L H asked:
I am currently running Win XP. Well, there’s may layers of it on my PC (I didn’t do that myself, don’t ask why the person did). I have many graphics programs installed, and more images of my art tahn you could shake a mouse at. I prefer to use Ubuntu (Linux type of OS) instead, as it runs smoother and thakes way less memory than XP - not to mention the added benefit of having 1 OS and that’s it. What files can I copy to CD to reinstall after the OS change, what’s the best way to do this, and *can I* copy installed progs to reinstall after? These are progs I no longer have the original disk for, the cd spindle was lost when we moved. Help?

Why does Ubuntu not start after installation?
ET asked:
I have installed Ubuntu 7.04 today on a dual boot system with Win XP. The installation was without errors, but after I restarted (without the CD) Ubuntu wouldn’t load. It would just get to the loading bar and then froze. XP starts normally. To boot I used Grub. What could be the problem?

Uninstall Kubuntu and install XP
Yee S asked:
Hi,
I have an Acer Travelmate 6292 that originally comes with Vista Business edition. Unfortuately, Acer and Vista give me many problems and the computer runs very slowly.
My friend helped me to format Vista and install Kubuntu in my laptop. He asked me to give Kubuntu a try. However, after trying out Kubuntu, i am still too used to windows and would like to uninstall Kubuntu and install XP.
Although kubuntu is much faster than Vista, it somehow disable my wi-fi networks and also make D drive unable to write. thus, i would rather stick to XP.
the problem is with the kubuntu O/S, it doesn’t seem to be able to boot the win XP CD?
what should I do? How do i format the c drive partition to remove / uninstall kubuntu completely so that I can install win XP?
Will there be some problems installing XP back because it was originally a Vista laptop?
Please help me !
I am an amateur when it comes to troubleshooting computers
thanks

What does Ubuntu have to offer vs Win XP pro?
a link to the past asked:
I’m considering the switch to Ubuntu from XP Pro. I’m a power-user, but this doesn’t mean I like to waste time with configuration. Gaming is fun - correct me if I’m wrong but *nix doesn’t have much to offer for gamers. Are there any killer apps I can get on a Linux platform not available to XP?
Vista is out of the question - let’s not consider that pile here, please.
