DOlson Posted September 22, 2002 Report Share Posted September 22, 2002 If you want to know how to do this, please, read the documentation on your operating system's website. Chances are that this is Microsoft Windows, so you would go to: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?...;EN-US;Q247804& Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DOlson Posted September 23, 2002 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2002 Hey, I found that on accident, so I posted it in here since on the old board it was a frequently asked question. If people want to use Microsoft's OS, then they can get their help from Microsoft. I'm sure if they called Microsoft they have a tech support staff dedicated to helping people remove LiLo and Linux from computers. It's probaby a free service too.

Ronin Posted September 23, 2002 Report Share Posted September 23, 2002 :shock: :shock: traitor..... :shock: :shock: j/k. Hardly traitor, yes I know you were pulling DOlsons leg calling him that. Lets be honest at this stage in the life of Linux it's still not for everybody At least not yet. I'm still not sure if it will be a good thing or not if it ever becomes like MS in that everybondy can install and run it. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezroller Posted September 23, 2002 Report Share Posted September 23, 2002 Oh, I completely understand, I finally goaded my roommate into installing Linux, now he sits there looking at all sorts of errors all wide-eyed. I think he'll stick with it just cause if he starts something, he wants to be the best at it, but its definately not for everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOlson Posted September 23, 2002 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2002 Some people get really mad when you say that. "Well, Linux isn't for everyone." "What is THAT supposed to mean????" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thayne Posted September 23, 2002 Report Share Posted September 23, 2002 Windows and Linux can coexist on the same computer. For additional information, refer to your Linux documentation. LOL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thayne Posted September 23, 2002 Report Share Posted September 23, 2002 Well, Linux isn't always best for everything. For example I set up my own Custom DVES (Digital video Entertainment System) he he I just made that up. While I would have prefered a Linux solution, it wasn't possible because the hardware doesn't support Linux. It runs on Win2k and does it all! Records TV shows with a real time Mpeg-2 hardware encoder anywhere from VCD to DVD quality with a Hauppage WinTV PVR250 card. TV recording can be scheduled to automatically record what ever I like. Output to my TV is via a REALmagic Xcard, Mpeg-2/DivX decoder card and the picture quality is nothing short of Awesome, even VCD quality mpegs look awesome with the hardware decoding. I also have DVD ripping and encoding software so I can rip and re-encode my DVD's to SVCD quality Mpegs and store them on the hard drive giving me instant access at all my movies any time I like :) I wish all this would work on Linux, but the fact is it doesn't. OMG...That sounds F*cking Bad ASS!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thayne Posted September 24, 2002 Report Share Posted September 24, 2002 Dude it is! I been working on it for about 4 months now, all trial and error. It rocks, now I just need a cool looking, quiet, small case to put it all in so that it looks as good as it works :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thayne Posted September 24, 2002 Report Share Posted September 24, 2002 I think I need a 5.1 sound system too, my decoder card has a 5.1 digital out and I think DivX supports 5.1 too :) I got a Shuttle SV-25 case, its small and looks cool, but its loud as hell and over heats, I need something else :?
