Linux is not for me. I like XP better. Ipod touch was hair puller too. the download channal was like the same way Ipod touch apps where like, I wanted to take a hammer beat the Ipod touch because the browser wasent all that. I tryed all the Skype wifi phones they failed.

Acer is good
I’ve sent you a message
umm i have ubunto, nothing els, not double boot, and i want to install windows vista from ubuntu so pleas help me, i have the vista disk but it says, ther is no autorun program installed, pleas pleas pleas pleas helpppp!!
nice….good for you man
Thank you for all the usefull information.
there’s always a problem when installing XP after vista is already on there. xp overwrites the vista boot loader. this is why you have to install xp first, then vista. getting it back is very tricky cuz then you’ll be overwriting your grub. then you’ll have to get that one back. be on the lookout in the upcoming weeks. i’m going to post another video on how to fix that after i tinker with it for a while
I had vista installed then added xp on another partition then added ubuntu on another partition and now my grub is ubuntu and it sais vista but when i hit enter on vista it brings me to xp how do i get it all on the grub ty.
after installing xp
i havent really noticed a slowdown when running off of logical partitions. in either case, you can have up to 4 primaries, but you can have as many logicals as you want. i figured i’d leave it like that in case i wanted to install more OS’s.
and when you said to defrag the drive, did you do this, if you did? is it before or after installing xp
Hi, good video.
In the video, the vista and storage partitions are logical and xp is primary. Can you explain this, why logical and not primary, i thought a os is best for primary partition.
nope. i’ve got Windows 7 on a 5-year old PATA Maxtor. and it runs smooth.
not really
is putting windows vista on a cheap PATA hard drive a bad idea?
these video is the best thank you!
lol, i’m a computer science engineer major. just a code monkey. i’m glad this tutorial worked well for you
what is your major? jk, thanks for making this video, it really helped me a lot. and i love how clear and specific you were.
thank you!!!!!
mann….I have been looking for hours for a simple step by step way to do this. finally there is somebody who knows how to explain perfectly.
i dont have ubuntu but i duel booted with vista installed first to installing xp second ,that way sucks because you have change vistas MBR ,its not that hard but it requires entering commands on vistas fix feature located on the disk .
Not that I know of. The closest thing is to use a virtual machine. Google “virtualbox”.
You kow Wubi? Isn’t there any Wubi-like install with Vista insteed of Linux? i mean i’ve already got XP, Linux and i want Vista installed like Ubuntu Wubi.
So do I actually. I made this tutorial before I knew about Wubi. I have another video in my channel showing how to install with Wubi.
good tutorial but i recommend useing wubi instead of a live cd
I’m on a laptop, no problems with wifi. But my usb ports don’t work with psp or flash drive unless I tell it to make a USB startup disk.
