How To Make Dual Booting A (Bigger) Pain
the_phenom writes "Thinking of dual-booting your Windoze XP 17" Toshiba P25 laptop? Think again - this one 'uses a DVD with an already setup version of Windows XP Home and then transfers it to the notebook's hard drive,' preventing the normal setup procedure and thus, dual-booting." This reminds me of the unfriendly practice on some PC builders' parts of including an OS "backup" only on a hard-drive partition.

Basically all of them don't now. Both HP-Compaq and Dell don't provide a backup(not sure about IBM). It probably has to do with one of M$'s evil licenses.
read my blog
musings on politics and technol
Im sure M$ likes this. First of all (main reason), they probably save a butt-load of money on tech support when n00bs who haven't RTFM mess up installation somehow(It's Windows for christ's sake! Not (Inset Linux Distro Here)!). Lastly, it is a strong discouragement to people who foolishly think that they OWN their computers and software. I mean, who needs a brain now? The computer will do all of our thinking from now on.
If you've got a floppy, or any sort of bootable removable media whatsoever, dual-booting into Linux is possible.
Whats so hard about putting a floppy in this dreaded oh-so-evil laptop, and leaving it there? I mean, how often do *you* use floppies anymore?
Pointless article.

Go buy a copy of Partition Magic. Resize the C drive down, then install Linux.
But don't complain that Toshiba/MS forces you to buy extra software just to do something your PC should be able to do out of the box.
Here's other things you can do when:
MS's buggy DRM prevents you from playing the MP3 rips of your OWN CDs.
Buy another copy of the CD for each computer you have.
MS makes it illegal to USE 3rd party remote control software.
Buy a terminal services license for each PC you want to connect to.
George Bush makes false claims in order to go to war.
Just say to yourself, "Self, the CIA told George to say these things. George knows not what he sayeth."
And, if you don't like people who have differing opinions...
Pay them off so they stop voicing them. I have a PayPal account.
etc.
Keep spending your money, it helps the economy.
A great many people think they are thinking when they are merely rearranging their prejudices. -- William James
um.. did I say I MADE FP?
NO.. retarded asswipe
That's 2 hours of my life I'll never get back. . .
It's stuff like this that make me wonder why some folks are not using Macs? They simply.....work. And with VirtualPC, (yes, I know unfortunately it is now a MS product) one can have as many boot environments as you want. Linux (pick your flavor), and Windows (again, pick your flavor) all on one machine. Of course I have since dropped even VirtualPC since OS X meets all of my needs now (including running all of my *nix code from my SGI's).
Visit Jonesblog and say hello.
They simply . . . cost too fscking much. for what you get. Four grand for a laptop (five grand for a desktop, $300 for an Apple-only MP3 player) with a lot of eye candy is too damn much.
They simply . . . don't have the software base.
They simply . . . (as stated by parent post) want to do on the hardware AND software levels what Billy wants to do on software. (Steve Jobs would have achieved it if he could market his way out of a wet paper sack. Must be nice to get rehired at $83 million a year after running the company into the ground once only to be bailed out by your largest competitor.)
Don't get me wrong, they're nice machines, but they're not the end-all, be-all that the Mac freaks claim them to be. They're certainly not worth the ridiculous prices they charge.
I even gave my modem number ... you could have looked up the specs quite easily and seen that it is a pIII non-speed step. This is not some "feature" to help out the heat, this is because the pIII overheats the machine and kills it. Reasearch before you claim someone is posting FUD, Toshiba is the only laptop manfacturer I know that has the audacity to throw a desktop processor into a laptop on so many occassions, check their satellite line if you don't believe me.
So nope, don't see a connection, not using a speed-step chip, hence the shady update to "fix" the problem. The chip was cut in HALF always, not just when it was idle or hot. Hence the lawsuit against toshiba.
Ignore the "p2p is theft" trolls, they're just uninformed
