i have a laptop (really really old) and i am messing around with it. got it for free and dont really care about it. but i was wondering if there were any operating systems (such as dos or sumtin...possibly even a 32bit gui os) that i can run from floppy. seeing as since the bios is so old that it doesnt support boot from cd...or maybe someone can link me to a bios update...its a sager 8600 series (np8620 to be exact)...are there any floppy img downloads that maybe have an autorun file that will

Partitioning The HDD For Multiple OS
Hey all, I am about to reformat my drive on my Toshiba laptop (with the system restore disc it came with) and was wondering about how to partition it so I could run a distro of Linux and XP on it. I'm pretty computer saavy so fire away.Also, any other recommendations instead of Linux? I want to try a new OS but preferably not have to pay anything. Thanks.

I'm a fan of the Microsoft Corporation and I simply love their OS(s).The best thing about a Windows OS is:1. Its GUI - Windows are the best GUI I've seen, compared to MacOS & even Linux.2. Its compaitibility - 99% of the softwares on the planet are compaitible with Windows.Here's what my collection is about: (in latest order)Windows Vista (Beta)Windows XP (Home/Professional & Media Centre edition)Windows 2000 ProfessionalWindows MEWindows 98SE (Now that's ancient!)

What Do You Think About Making An OS ?
What do people think of this idea?Making an Operating System that is based off of Linux that has a GUI (Graphical User Interface like Windows), can support any hardware, any software, has the best parts of all the operating systems (windows' ease of use and UNIX or whatever's power). Also, can people post here to tell me how OS's work and how they are made? Just a brief summary would be great! Thanks in advance to anyone that posts!

Your Opinion Please: Shopping For A New OS
Hi, here's my problem, my main internet computer just died on me again, it's a hardware problem that is going to take a bit of time to fix (ie, enough time to let me put money away to buy a new mobo). In the mean time I have a (pair) of p3 computers in working order (that I just recently aquired and have yet to set up) that I can use as a temporary replacement. My only concern is that I would like to keep them up and running once I fix my main computer so I don't want to install the

Hello freindsI always wonder How Operating System Works. I tried to figure it out but failed. How they managed to interact with hardware using some commands? How OS were built? Which languages are used? Which was the first OS and who built it? And one question always trouble me is, when we create data or file or might import it from other storing devices or from internet, what happens to these data when we delete them? Where do these go? According to some these stay in hard drive. If it is so af

I'm interested in loading Linux (ubuntu), XP, Vista and Tiger on my computer. I know each of the systems work. but how do i install them all so that i can easily choose which OS to boot to when starting the computer. I've heard of grub bootloader, but frankly, i find the linux terminal and code out of my range. is there also a sequence i should follow for installation order?

Although I understand the reasoning behind the separation of the OS subsections into more subsections, it's a bit sad that everything's split up, and there's no apparent sharing or understanding between the people using different OSes. Although I do admit I don't like Windows, I embrace all other OSes. As such, I propose we put up links to our favourite OS-related websites. This way maybe I can get to know of some Linux-flavoured development News sites or something to do with Win

HI, I'm currently a windows user hoping to move to linux. The problem is that I don''t know which one to pick. Also, I'm not a fan of using OS command lines to install softwares, configure settings, etc. I would like to have a linux that's mostly done through GUI. Is there such linux that fits my standards?

How Do Disable Vistas Anoyying Notifications For Security
QUOTEdouble click on tghe security icon in your system tray when it pops up. Doing so will take you to the Security Center.2) Look on the left, and choose the last option in the Navigation Menu - “Change the way Security Center alerts me.”3) You will be prompted for your decision on whether to be notified of security issues. Pick the one that’s most appropriate for you. I’m not sure why the first option is boxed. It’s probably because Vista recommends it.

Well I was just wondering if anybody has taken this test....and what your thoughts were of the testI have taken it and passed, without too much trouble, however I felt that the test itself was not that great of a test. Sure it asks you lots of questions about things, but how is that pratical? Is it all that important to know what the names of certain things are (as to if they are Microsoft <utility name here>, or Windows <utility name here> where it chances between the two depending

QUOTE Google is expanding their Chrome browser into an operating system. They will probably distribute it on little netbooks first then move into desktops. I wish them well.

I always wanted to creat my operating system (not a great one that could compete with Mac or Windows of course), but a simple little language that could host programs (written by me). Is there any one way to start on creating the system, and is there a commonly used programming language I would need to learn to start writting it?

Recently I have decided to reinstall Vista and also remove Windows 7 BETA and install Windows 7 Release Candidate. I have ran into some issues with partitioning though.Right now I have an ext3 partition for Ubuntu 9.04, and a 1GB linux-swap partition for the Linux swap I guess. Windows Vista is installed on /dev/sda1, which is obviously NTFS, and Windows 7 is installed on /dev/sda3, again NTFS.We all know that installing Windows (or even repairing it) will wipe out GRUB and put on the Windows Bo
