[Off-topic] ABD EL HAMEED:
Doesn't the install disk give you the option to do so,since my disk was lost and I couldn't boot into Ubuntu I just deleted the whole partition from windows,but because I also deleted GRUB there was no bootloader to boot windows which was fixed easily by using my windows installation disk and using a few commands

bootrec.exe/FixMbr

bootrec.exe/Fixboot

bootrec.exe/RebuildBcd

God the bootloader thing is annoying,does anyone have any experience with clover bootloader and how should I install it on OS mavericks?
[Off-topic] PVL_93_RU:
Put the Ubuntu bootloader on Ubuntu's partition, not in the main (/dev/sda) partition, in which case GRUB overrides DOS bootloader

Ok I got a question. My ps3s hdd is full so I want to upgrade it to another hdd. The thing is that the hard drive that I want to use is in a laptop that has no power cord aka can't turn on. Can I still format it using the ps3 to fat32? Or will the ps3 not format it?
[Off-topic] replica9000:
Are you talking about the PS3's internal HDD? When you put a new drive in it, the PS3 will format/encrypt it to it's own proprietary filesystem.
[Off-topic] jmindset:
Yeah. The intenal hard drive. And does 7200 rpm overheat the ps3?
[Off-topic] replica9000:
It shouldn't. If I remember correctly, faster HDDs don't make any difference in most cases in the PS3. Mostly shows improvement in software updates. May also depend on the game. Also, it can't be any thicker than 9mm.
[Off-topic] jmindset:
Oh ok. I decided to go through with it and currently doing a restore. The restore is taking half the time of the "backup". Maybe because of the 7200 rpm. Sucks that the OS takes up so much space like 30 gigs

Right click on my computer. Go to manage option. In that click disk management. Right click partition (from which u want to shrink) and entire desired amount to shrink in MB's and let the procedure finish. You ll get unallocated space. Keep it as it is.

For dual booting with ubuntu

Insert live usb/dvd and chose install ubuntu. Select last option that is custom installation. Ull get to the partition table chose the unallocated space for ubuntu to be installed there. Let the procedure finish. Voila! Done:D

One big drawback. I've made a rig online (just look for parts and add the prices), at about 1500 with nice specs. I'll post links later if I don't forget.

Lol timing, but see the above... Is it worth that much?

On the other hand, the 690 alone will run you ~1000 Euros... You do lose the self-builder's control over the parts (manufacturer and such), though.

On my old dell with 500GB, I gave somewhere like 150 GB to each, and used the other 200GB as a storage partition... on my current computer, I've got the 512 SSD split into 300 for Windows, 200 for Linux Mint, and have a 750GB for storage...

You could easily give 300GB to Windows, 200GB to Linux, and have 250GB left... The OS will read different...

Why would I want that much for each OS? It would just be programs and their files. I don't want to boot into another OS if I want to watch a movie. I was thinking 10 for the OS and another 10 for programs and files. The rest for shared media.

Last time I looked into it, a SSD in a PS3 won't be anything amazing. Some games will benefit, some won't. I suppose since SSDs don't radiate any heat, the system may run a little cooler.

[Off-topic] jmindset:
Wow finally a useful answer! Ok but I heard you had to constantly defrag the ssd. Is this true? I'm planning on playing almost strictly from the ssd by downloading entire games from psn. Would that benefit the ssd?
[Off-topic] replica9000:
I could be wrong, but I believe the filesystem used on the internal drive is Unix/Linux based. Shouldn't need any type of defrag if that's the case. However, if the PS3's OS doesn't support TRIM, the write speeds of the SSD may slowdown overtime.
[Off-topic] jmindset:
Ok thanks but will the ssd improve overall speeds from hard drive games?

Running Android x86 on my Multimedia PC

Hi, this is my first post, and I want to tell everybody how to obtain the best result using Android_InstallerV12 to install android-4.0-r1.1 on an Acer Aspire Z5610 multimedia PC. :)

I have managed now to boot Windows 8.1, Ubuntu 13.10 and other operating systems besides of Android 4.0 right from my Windows 7 boot menu in the following manner:

After updating my Windows 8 to version 8.1, I had to use easybcd to get back to the old Windows 7 style menu. Then one may install Ubuntu 12.04 using Wubi installer and after updating all files it can be upgraded at first to version 13.04 and then to 13.10.

However, using the Wubi like Android_InstallerV12 to install android-4.0-r1.1 made some problems: I have tested several versions in the internet for different hardware and got the best result with android-x86-4.0-r1.1-asus_laptop.iso. Although this iso was prepared for Asus computers it works very well with my Acer. I have burned the image on a CD and got an almost perfectly running life system on using it. Even my webcam is working. :)

So I tried the Wubi like Android_InstallerV12 to install it on my harddrive. But I obtained a badly blured screen with ugly low resolution using the same image to install from. Compared to that, I had got a HD like sharp screen on using the life CD. :crying:

You may read about that installer in the post [WinApp][Updated 28 April] Android x86 Easy Installer from ExtremeGTX. ExtremeGTX suggests to add DPI=120 or any value at the end of kernel line in c:\menu.lst to change screen resolution, but this measure doesn't cope with the bluredness of the screen.

Also, I could not install directly to my Acer PC's harddrive as I have no USB keyboard and the wireless Acer keyboard is not recognized by the installer included in the iso file.

As a workaround, I have installed the android-x86-4.0-r1.1-asus_laptop.iso to my Lenovo Thinkpad T400 and transplanted the installed files and folders to my Acer PC. I also exchanged the menu.lst produced by Android_InstallerV12 with the one provided in the grub folder from my Lenovo laptop installation. Only the start partition mentioned in menu.lst had to be changed to the right one where my Android system is installed on the Acer multimedia PC. Thus, I have got a perfectly running Android 4.0 on my Acer's hardrive. :victory:

I hope this post is helpful to at least some of you!?
