Hi folks,

I've been trying out Ubuntu lately which I installed on my laptop which came with Windows 7 installed but had the downgrade to XP option (which I had to have done as some of my work systems are not compatible with Windows 7 yet).

I installed Ubuntu 12.04 and used the partition tool to take 100GB off my Windows and reallocate it to Ubuntu.

Everything has been running fine as I got to grips with how to use Ubuntu to build android ROM's.

Now comes the time I have done what I wanted with Ubuntu and I want to remove it from the dual boot. I have read about 5 different guides how to do this and nothing is working.

As I understand it I need to fix/rebuild my MBR after I remove the Ubuntu partitions, but anything I have tried; including XP installation disc, XP Recovery Console disc, Windows 7 disc.....does not let me press 'R' to repair the system as the guides illustrate.

All the discs designed for XP result in a blue screen of death after it does an initial setup of hardware.

The Windows 7 disc gets further than that and asks me if I want to install 32 or 64 bit and gives me the partition/format options but there is no option to 'Repair'.

When I deleted the Ubuntu partition I was left with the GRUB error and my XP would not boot. After trying about 5 different things to repair the MBR (and failed) I decided re-installing Ubuntu would bring back the GRUB and allow me to dual boot XP again (which worked). But now I have 4 different partitions and I just want to merge them all back to my XP and have a working MBR.

Any ideas guys?

Screenshot of my partitions is attached.

Perhaps you could try Parted Magic or System Rescue CD which can both be burned to either a disk or a usb via Unetbootin. Parted Magic should help you edit/fix your partitions and System Rescue CD should help you repair your system from reading their quick descriptions. I have not used either, but I have used Unetbootin and it works fine for me and those disks are at least worth a try.

Just a btw, but you didn't have to create a new thread for this... you could have posted your question in the Desktop and Laptops thread... that thread + Google should be helpful for all your future endeavors.

Good luck with your computer! :)

Whatever you do, do it carefully. I used to dual boot w7 and Ubuntu and I removed Ubuntu and somehow corrupted grub, which then caused a hard drive failure

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eresac:
You can find two solutions for that, both compliant with your ROM:

- [XPOSED MOD][13/06][UPDATE] NottachXposed V10 - I9500 & I9505

- 3Minit Framework 2.1 [MODS][THEME][MORE]

Up to you check if they work (since both don't work properly for me, comparing with the same on SGS2).

Otherwise you can wait for JKay to release it:

- [MOD] JKay Deluxe v0.2 alpha for XXUBMEA - Jun 9th.

since I guess it will work greatly as it did on SGS2.

Just a tip, the use of task managers to kill processes and free RAM doesn't do much good for your battery.

Some android processes stay in memory and are usually idle till required, when you kill them they reload themselves into memory and have to re-do all the processing they were doing before they were killed which means your CPU spends more time processing things it already has done before, that's wastage of battery. Memory management is done by the OS pretty well, so take that into mind.

And if an app requires more ram, the OS automatically unloads other apps to create space for it in RAM. Unless you plan to use it all (like when running a heavy game), doesn't make a difference what amount of RAM is available on your phone whether its 3mB or 300mB.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] sadiq23:
Well mate it usually happens with me! So I decided removing all stamina mode nd stamina mode related things nd made a flashable zip! Now when ever I get this problem I just flash! It works!!

Or more simple option

Just copy SuperStamina file from system/app nd move it to SDcard nd now delete SuperStamina file from system/app, it will give you reboot!, now move the SuperStamina file from SDcard to system/app nd give permission to RW-R-R nd reboot it will work again!

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] hertsjoatmon:
Having had my tablet 2 weeks I ran in to an issue last night where my microSD card will no longer load onto my tablet. It works fine on my PC. This was after I had flashed CIVs 1.7 kernel which lead me to beleive that was the issue. After trying a 32gb card which worked fine I decided to do a search on the web to see if it was the card that was at fault and came accross this...

http://crave.cnet.co.uk/mobiles/samsung-galaxy-s3-fault-is-caused-by-sandisk-memory-cards-50010684/

Thought I would share it.

I'm going to call the number this afternoon and see if I can get a replacement.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] kisaten:
Civs 1.7 removed native exfat support, if you go back to a stock kernel it'll work fine (im assuming your card is formatted exfat)

You can also use stickmount to mount an exfat partition on Civs

or

You can format your card to be fat32 and it'll be natively supported in almost any kernel (google " how to format a 64gb in fat32")
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] hertsjoatmon:
This answers the question I just posed to you in the other thread. Thanks.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] hertsjoatmon:
Read up on Stickmount. although it sounds good at first, it would require me to change the destination folder for all of my mounted apps as it looks like the mounted location is different to what was used in the stock kernel. As such I will most likely reformat to fat32 despite its limitation in files sizes (No large movie files for me).

Thanks for the reply dazza, mine's not an LTE handset so I guess the update won't give me that :silly:

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SimboXXX:
I was thinking of getting this phone but i'm a bit worried about the durability.

[YOUTUBE]I6_FWuF_XxU[/YOUTUBE]

Or maybe it's too easy to damage. I don't like using cases for phones.

Are phones getting damaged easily?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theshawty:
Phones made of aluminium are more prone to chipping and serious damage than phones made of plastic, yeah, but that's the price we all One users have agreed to pay for the more premium-feel of it.

To be fair, phones aren't really made with being dropped in mind. A sleek, beautiful and premium-feeling like the One means more to me than a durable, ugly, glossy polycarbonate phone that the GS4 is.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SimboXXX:
Thanks. True, I never intend to drop my phones, but unfortunately it can happen. My GSII does feel plasticy, but when I've dropped it, it's survived unmarked. I'm a bit worried about that glass - it shouldn't scratch so easily like in that video.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArmedandDangerous:
Scratched? He probably had some sand wherever he was at. Gorilla Glass is rated about 5-6H in hardness. Knifes and regular metal will not scratch it. Copper coins won't as well. Anything harder than those will. A single grain of sand can contain Quartz, which is 7H.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TarekElsakka:
That's what cases, covers and most importantly protective, clear coats like ZAGG's Invisible Shield are made for. It's true that aluminum is more prone to getting chipped or scratched than other materials, but as mentioned above, that's the price you pay for choosing the best quality over the most durable. To be honest with you, I'd rather buy the HTC One and install an invisible shield or nice looking case to protect it than invest in a device with cheap plastic any day. And if you're too paranoid about scratches, grab yourself an Otterbox Defender or such and you'll never have to worry about your device again.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BableMan:
Mine's been naked for a little over a month now and it still looks perfect. It is silver which seems more durable than the black but I've kept in it the same pocket as my keys, coins, zippo, plus whatever weird junk I'm carrying and there isn't a single scratch, dent, hole, or anything.

That said, I am Irish... ;)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SimboXXX:
Is the sliver one bare aluminum? Or does it have a coating of some kind?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BableMan:
Feels like bare anodized aluminum, although I shouldn't have said it was perfect. The white stripes going across the back can get pretty dirty, but that's true of almost all white plastic pieces on phones and is easily fixed with a old toothbrush.

Check this out though if you're worried about scrapes.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theshawty:
The silver one is purely anodized aluminium, however the black one does have a coating and therefore scratches waaaay more easily.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TarekElsakka:
Oh wow I had no idea the black one has a coating; I sure am glad I made the choice to go with silver!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erto90:
Guys,any way to clear the white rubber(ornplastic??) stripes around the phone?

I was asking because, so far my is perfect, but my cover do not cover top and bottom ( side are well covered) because is the semi-rigid crystal clear

Any tip to protect these 2 parts without changing cover?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevedebi:
I think the silver is also anodized aluminum, just with a different color. The difference is that a silver color won't contrast with the aluminum construction if scratched.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TarekElsakka:
I'd expect it to be much worse than that. I dropped my Galaxy S3 with flip cover installed on the floor from a very short distance on its side and the LCD broke from the inside and I had to replace the whole digitiser, lcd and of course the frame, not to mention that was inside the house and it fell on ceramic and I am sure asphalt is worse.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SimboXXX:
Yeah, I think that was pretty lucky.

I just saw this vid of how they test Samsung phones by this machine doing repeated drop tests, impact, and water tests etc. but I think it all depends on the angle and place where the phone hits the surface.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TarekElsakka:
I read that we could use iKlear, the solution as well as the micro-fiber towel in order to clean not only the sides but the whole device (including the screen). I have an unopened iKlear package which I got for my iPad a couple of months ago, so I am going to give it a shot when the sides get a bit dirty and report back.
