If it's only for windows why am I reading "Operating Systems / SysAdmin discussion board"? 
|

I said it's primary area was Windows. I know if I was in your shoes, I'd be looking for a place that primarily supported the flavor of Linux I was installing. Do you think I'd be going to the Chevy dealership to get some help with my BMW?

If you know the link to linux forum you should provide to him.

If you would have read the 1st reply to the OP, you would have seen that markkuk already supplied it to him.

I think your Linux live CD might have a documentation for you to set up your linux operating system. Try to check it system require and you might found some information relate to your issue. Or try to check on the website where you download this product.

I found the problem. Ubuntu 6.06 does not support SATA hard drives. Doesn't have the drivers I think. The new edition (6.10) does and can see the partitions of a SATA disc..
Thank you all for the help !

You don't need to use Partiton Magic. When booting from cd or DVD, Instalation will give you nice options. (Althou it is confusing).
edit: Did you tried with the newest version.

|
|
|
|
Yes Ubuntu 6.10 is now installed in my hard drive. I used though the automatic installation than the custom one..

Hi,
I need to make an application autorun from a USB device. Can that be done without being dependent on another application on the host system? I have seen some posts in this forum from '03, but it seems the poster never got an answer that I could use for my case.
I would appreciate any help,
Royce

You should be able to use an Autorun.inf file, just like on CDs.

Matrix is right, it's the same on a USB drive as it is on an CD. Autorun.inf won't do you any good if the host O/S has AutoRun turned off though.

Thanks, guys. However, to quote from MSDN: Autorun.inf files are not supported under Microsoft Windows XP for drives that return DRIVE_REMOVABLE from GetDriveType. It just doesn't work.

Interesting. On both of my USB keys, XP scans them looking for AutoRun.inf. I just tried it with putting a small AutoRun on one of them, just starting Notepad, and it worked perfectly.

Yes, it is interesting. I can't figure out what might distinguish your system from mine. I am running WinXp Pro SP2. Do you have some sort of 3rd party or MS application that supports this functionality? I downloaded an application from another website that gives me this functionality, but I would have to propagate that application to every platform in our network in order for this to work. Not workable!
Thanks for your help,
Royce

I never explicitly installed anything to add this support that I know of. Unless.....PowerToys for XP, maybe?

I have a system running SBS 2003 R2, I will be having some much better hardware (3Ghz HT P4 with raid vs 1.3 Ghz TBird barebones) available soon. The TBird system is old, not very fast, and not always reliable. How would I go about transfering control of my domain to the new system?

What do you mean by transfering the control? What kind of function that you want to transfer?

I am running SBS (full Active Directory/Exchange etc) on Computer A, Computer A is old and sucks. Computer B is new(er) and doesn't suck. I want to make Computer B my SBS server and get rid of Computer A, but I don't want to loose all my Active Directy logins/config/etc or my mail/calander/etc in exchange. Hopefully that makes sense.

Hi,
I am the administrator of my system.My system is in network.I don't know Why a read-only property is set to my project Folder.
I have Visual Studio workspace in that folder . I have created VC++ project .Now, When I try to add new Functions using the workspace I am getting error saying that "Add/Remove Operation is Impossible because the codeelement CMYdialog is ReadOnly" .
Is there any way where I can remove the ReadOnly Property?
Any Suggestions would be helpful.
Today is a gift, that's why it is called the present.

Right-click the project folder then pick Properties. Clear the Read-Only checkbox, then click OK. When the dialog comes up asking "Confirm attribute changes?", make sure you click the option that says "Apply changes to this folder, subfolders and files", then click OK.
