Is there a way to install Linux on one hard drive then keep my xp o n my primary one basically can i install Linux on my (f drive then keep windows xp on my c drive and unplug my c drive and then plug in my f drive for Linux and if i want windows XP just unplug my (f drive and plug in my c drive or will it mess up my mother board? MAKE SENSE LOL?
Can i run windows xp and linux?
It will not mess up your motherboard. However, even if you are installing the two OSes on separate drives, the bootloader for both systems needs to live on your primary drive.
The best way to go about this is to install Windows first, then install a Linux distribution that has a decent install program (such as Ubuntu or PCLinuxOS) that allows you to specify which drive the Linux partitions will be created on. The installer will set up the GRUB or LILO bootloader on your primary drive, allowing you to dual-boot, but if you choose the secondary drive as the installation target, all the other Linux files will reside on that drive.
The reason you need to install Windows first, is that the Windows installer will blithely wipe away the boot sector of any previously installed OS without asking.
Reply:The alpha-geek way: Partition hard drive, install Linux, use GRUB for booting.
The n00b way: Wubi.
Reply:YES...you can run more than one operating system on a computer. You can install a boot program called LILO, which will allow you to select which operating system to boot at start-up. I would suggest using separate partitions, or place linux on a slave drive. Because windows XP can get cranky if you share file space. No need to unplug anything!
If you want to get a taste of linux try downloading the ISO (CDROM disk image) of Knoppix Linux, then burn it to a cdrom. It runs from a CDROM, and doesn't require any disk space. However, you must be able to change your bios setting to boot the CDROM first, to run Knoppix.
I would not suggest unplugging drive cables to switch operating systems, one bent pin, and your messed up.
Reply:I don't quite follow you plugging and unplugging. My desktop has XP on one drive and Linux on the other, because I specifically had two drives put in for that purpose. My laptop has several Windoze-related partitions and several Linux related partitions. Both machines work fine. What is with the plug and unplug? Just set up grub (the boot loader) properly and choose what you want at startup / reboot. Your "solution" is too much like work!
Reply:Yes, sure can. It is called a dual drive - dual boot. For more info on dual booting, see here http://www.linuxboards.org/showthread.ph...
Reply:most linux installs have a program that manages 2 os's
keep both hds pluged in
Reply:No it won't mess up your motherboard and yes it will work just fine.
Reply:As long as you have enough 'free space' available on the HD, (such as an unformatted second drive), that is NOT 'claimed' by your windows system; you can install BOTH without having to change ANY connections.
MOST Linux programs include a 'dual-boot' option that will find the windows OS and set things up to give you a choice at startup.
I have 1 box with win98SE, 5 different Linux, and 1 Unix on a SINGLE 80GB HD. (I STILL have free space available too!!)
NOTE: You can use a program such as 'partition manager' to free up space IF it is all currently claimed by your windows OS. (It can 'shrink' and 're-arrange' drive space to give you the necessary free space if your drive is not to full!)

Is the a hard drive formatting utility for linux that could fit on a 1.44mb disk? 3 1/2"disk?
I just screwed up my boot partition for windows, the format command don't work on my resue disk, and the win 98 cd is not booting. I do however have linux backed up on hda6,but loadlin wants to load from c: and I don't have a way to edit any files. I need to reformat the c: drive to the ext2 so I could copy linux to that drive. windows is probably forever gone(not entirely a bad thing)

Start with what you have. If you've got bash installed, use bash. If it's csh, then go with csh. If you have a text or tutorial you really trust, then go with its recommendation. Otherwise just go with what you have.
Reply:I would suggest that you try the new AntiX 7.01,a Simply Mepis derivative;which contains, in Admin tools, both bash %26amp; sh platforms.Programming in Python,Tclsh8.4 %26amp;TkWish8.4 has dedicated support.So you are achieving your objective %26amp; testing a relatively new Linux distro.This distro was developed for older systems,but makes for a very useful live cd on any system %26amp; can be installed of course.Good luck!!http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distrib...

LINUX experts plz, and WINDOWs XP also. PLZ this is very important?
i am having a virus on my windows XP, it is called SCCVIHOST.exe, i am not able to delete it by any means, i even formatted the C partition but with no succes also
so i installed LINUX Mandrake 9 on the same PC having the virus so that i can delete the virus from linux by logging into the other paritions dealing with windows:
i was able to install linux and log into the windows partition, but i am not able to delete the files of this virus, the system tells me, that these are read only file system, how can i solve this? if it helps, i got this error when trying to delete the file from the WINDOWS folder !
another question which may sound stupid, i am not able to log into into folders with (spaces) in their names, for example, if i have a folder named (new folder), i write (cd new folder/) but it does not work! linux cannot find the specified folder !!
PLZ any help will be great, i dont want to format the whole Hard disk, thx a lot
LINUX experts plz, and WINDOWs XP also. PLZ this is very important?
there are alot of reasons that Linux may not be able to alter files on a NTFS (windows) partition... usually has to deal with Linux not fully supporting that file system... it can read it... but not alter it... another solution would be to install a basic version of windows on the second partition and use it to delete the file... OR... since your windows install is obviously screwed... go in, backup your data, and wipe the computer.... oh yeah... and GET ANTIVIRUS SOFTWARE
Reply:oh !, windows in NTFS will not allow WRITE facility to any other Linux/3rd party programs
Its a virus/variant which has copied itself to memory and then attached itself to the headers of the executable windows files so, they could reside in memory ( only programs in memory could perform any operation)
just install a good Advanced Heuristic based anti-virus and boot into safe-mode and scan with it.
Eset's NOD32 offers similar facility and also offers fully functional 30 day trial, very fast and heuristic also scans for trojan/spyware etc.. may be u go for that
Reply:regarding that cd command type cd "new folder". you are done. i mean if there are spaces in the name of folder you need to type the name inside double quotes. or you can even type cd newfol~1. but this is a little bit confusing i think because if the folder you need to access is named "hot is fine" or something like that you need to type cd hotisf~1. ie need to type first six letters of the folder name continuosly without spaces and then tild ~ symbol followed by 1, 2 or so on.
better use the double quotes method.
regarding the virus you said your virus's name is sccvihost.exe. i think the name is probably scvhost.exe. that is indeed a virus. we often confuse it with svchost.exe which is a generic windows process.
you can try one thing. log into os using safe mode by selecting F8 during booting. use administrator credentials using log-on. then try to delete the files which you associate with virus. because of safe mode and because of administrator rights files should be deleted. if they refuse even then try changing their attributes by selecting properties and then removing read-only option. it may even say "it can't delete the file because it's in use." if that is the case use windows task manager and then try stopping scvhost.exe, not svchost.exe mind you, and then change attributes and then delete.
if none of these methods work, try this.
to get rid of it try something like zone alarm pro or spybot. don't worry it's just another virus.
and one more thing. to remove virus or some file you installed linux???? i sincerely appreciate your patience. :)
Reply:what linux distro are you using? Some distros do not support NTFS ffile system, and most only allow read access by default.
You formated your hard drive and it is still in your windows folder ? are you sure its not svchost.exe cuz that a part of wnidows? What did you use to format your drive? scence you already formated once I saymake sure you have all your data backed up and use Gparted to format the whole drive.
Reply:I don't think unix allows spaces in folder names, so that might be part of the problem. It also doesn't like underscores so you should use dashes. If you use the command line you should be able to change the attributes of the files and folders that you can't delete.
Reply:If you're still able to boot windows, boot it in safe mode (by pressing F8 repeatedly while the computer's booting up and selecting safe mode)
When you've successfully booted to the desktop, right-click "My Computer" and select "Properties"
Go to the System Restore tab and check the box labeled "Turn Off System Restore on all drives", then click OK.
The reason for this being that your virus is perpetuating via Windows' internal file protection protocols, so every time you delete the virus, Windows thinks you have deleted a system file, and restores it from a backup. Once System Restore is disabled, run your antivirus scanner and choose to Delete anything that is found, -do not- move the virus to a vault, as it could still manage to perpetuate.
As for your filesystem problems, lots of command line systems use an abridging system that turns long folder names, or filenames with spaces into things like "new~1" for "New Folder" ...just a thought, but see if you can get a directory listing of files and folders that includes a short file name using a certain command switch.
Reply:Ouch that is a lot of work!
It is on your partion for backing up Windows.
You have to turn off back up in XP before you run the virus scan with ....say AVG 7.5 free edition to clear it.
If that doesn't work the easiest thing is pull your hard drive and slave it in a another computer to get that comp to remove the virus with it's AV program. Some of these registry virus's are not removable from the BOOT DISK(the active hardrive)
Good luck and happy hunting

Reply:sweetie, first of all, i haven't heard of the SCCVIHOST.exe, but the svchost.exe is standard on windows, and is a systems operation. always google something before you try to delete it, or you'll crash your windows.
also, LINUX and windows do not communicate well, so would need to install SAMBA in order for them to do so.

Linux DX10?
I have a windows xp media center and dont wana upgrade to vista because it not worth it. I am getting a new video card nivida 8600 GTS with dx 10 and can linux run dx 10? and play the new games like c%26amp;c 3, halo 2, and ect..... because i know xp cant run dx10. what do u guy recomend?
Linux DX10?
Unfortunately Linux doesn't support Direct X 10 although I have heard somewhere that there is a project to reverse engineer it but I've not heard anything recently so I'm not sure anything will come of it.
As far as I am aware, currently the only way to use Direct X 10 is in Windows Vista.
You can run older games in Linux though, some games such as Doom 3 and Darwinia have versions available for Linux, and if you already own a Windows copy then you can get the Linux version for free. Other games require a soloution such as Wine, Cedega or Crossover, which are sets of things called 'APIs' from Windows which basically allow you to run Windows software (including games) under Linux, however this doesn't always work and some software just won't work at all with this method.
Another way to run Direct X 10 games on Linux would be to actually use Windows. The best way to do this would probably be to dual boot with Linux and Windows Vista, or you could use a program such as VMware which will run Windows Vista (or any other operating system) in a windows on your Linux desktop, allowing you to run Windows software without having to reboot, although this may have a performance hit and may not be the best way to run games.
Hope this helps, and good luck in your journey into the world of Linux.
Reply:you will find that you can run all windows programs through linux, by making your system a virtual machine, with linux and windows.. or you could set it up to do a dual boot system, depending on what linux system your going to install.
you will also find that linux support is second to none. all you need to do is join the support groups and forums of the version your going to install..
and you will have no problems with drivers like there is with Vista..

Linux Ubuntu help...?
Hi, im new to Ubuntu and a linux noob anyways lol.
I need to get mod_limitipconn.c installed but it asks for a path
to apxs, i have apache 2, and it seems apxs2 isnt anywhere.
I did a search and apparently i need 'apache2-threaded-dev', tho
i went to download it and didnt know which 'Architecture' i needed.
Is there a way i can install mod_limitipconn.c without apxs or can anyone
shed more light on apache2-threaded-dev.
all help is appreciated.
Linux Ubuntu help...?

What is kernal image in linux..??
learn the basic commands first so you get familiar with it.......and the get a book so you can learn like the O.S itself,.....
Reply:Kernel is a software which manages the computers and creates an environment for you run your applications like word processor, Internet browsing etc.
Since, it has to create an environment for you to do useful work with computer, kernel is loaded in to the memory first and Processor executes it. It does CPU scheduling, does memory management, manages "computer files" etc.
Without this kernel it would be almost impossible for manage
hardware and other abstract entities to do useful works with
computers.
In a simple terms .. its like a complete "Event manager"
Yes.. in my opinion, the best thing to lean Linux/Unix is to
start with command prompt, followed by simple shell programming etc. As you know C , it would be an added advantage.
There are lots of materials in Web and make use of it to learn command prompt.
A very good old book by "Rebeca Thomas and Jean Yates" and titled "Unix Operating System" would be useful also.
Thanks,

Reply:Every system consiss of mainly two things kernel and some base utilities.
Kernel is the most complicated and critical part of an operating system that recognizes hardware shares hardware between tasks,schedules task etc.Its like a layer between applications and hardware.Applications cannot run directly on hardwares they are not made for this they run on kernel,the more efficient the kernel the more efficiently the application expected to run.
The base utilities like shell or command line in linux provide a way to control the hardware,to edit scheduling etc.without these utilities perhaps the kernel is of no use.
Regarding learning Linux there is huge source of information in internet (www.linux.org).Start anything as you choice and try to master that. C is the base of linux which you know, the thing you have to master is the command line in Linux.

CC Command in Linux?
i installed Redhat Linux 9.0 when i try to compile a c / c++ Programm i get the error BASH CC Command not Found
CC Command in Linux?
Bash is a shell where to input commands, execute things and get the outputs.
What the message is telling you is the shell is unable to locate an executable file with the name "cc" in the commands path.
Issue the command: which cc
It should answer either "cc wasn't found in the path" (or something like that), or give you the absolute path leading to the directory where the cc executable file is, i.e. the one it would use if invoked as a command.
There is a variable PATH holding all the paths were the shell have to look for commands. Each path is separated from the others with colons (:). If you want to execute a command in your current directory, you need the path to have the "self directory" reference, a dot, as one of those paths.
If you don't want to modify the PATH variable, you can write down the whole path (absolute or relative) and name. Should the cc were in the current directory, ./cc (dot dash cc) will execute it
Notice you require permission to execute a file, even if reachable trough the PATH. Permissions are issued to "all", to a "goup" or to the user owning the file. Should cc were installed by root, unless the root user were granting cc permissions for the group (you have to be part of the group) or to "all", you won't be able to execute it.

yes this is possible. You dont even have to code a lot of things.
All you need is to enable telnet to your server. And then via telnet, execute "free" or "vmstat".
If you dont like telnet solution then you would have to either do it via CGI or via sockets creating your own service application.
But I think TELNET with enough security settings will be good enough for this problem. =)
Cheers and Merry Christmas in advance. =)

I use zabbix to monitor servers on remote sites:

Reply:I like that telnet suggestion, although "ssh" would be more secure.
Also try "uptime" or "top".
Reply:I *could* write such a program, but why am I going to reinvent the wheel? Try "man rstatd". You may have to install the "r" commands first, of course (distribution dependent). The main problem here is the definition of "CPU usage". Generally, Linux (and Unix) use the concept of "load" instead. So, if rstatd (actually rpc.statd) is running on the server, "rup" will report the load averages.*
And, of course, those statistics are also available by snmp. Or, use rsh (ssh) and run the iostat command remotely (and extract the %usr %sys %idle from that).
If this is an exersize, I will suggest W. Richard Stevens "Unix Network Programming". You will find examples in these books that are "ready to go". (these books should be in your University Library, and I suggest aquiring copies for your own use -- you will find them valuable as a professional resource).
* A postscript on Load Average vs. CPU% reporting.
Generally, if you are the ONLY user of a system, your jobs will get all available CPU. Which means that CPU% is intensely not interesting! You get what the hardware will deliver... If its too slow, pick faster hardware.
If you have access to a number of machines, and each of those machines also supports a number of users, you will want to know if you put job on that machine, the fraction of the CPU and other resources you will get. That is will (or may), in a future sense.
To attempt to answer this question, the concept of "load average" is used. Load average is a set of three numbers, representing the load average for 1, 10 and 15 minutes (exponentially damped). The idea is to give you a trend (which you can extrapolate to the future yourself). The next thing is the definition of "load". This is the number of processes waiting for, or using, the CPU(s). In Linux, it includes processes in an "i/o wait" state as well.
When YOUR process is running (say on a single-processor box) it gets 100% of the CPU for a duration. But, given the choice between scheduling a process on a 2GHZ processor with a load average of (5.0 5.0 5.0) or on a 1GHZ processor with a load average of (0.0 0.0 1.0), it would probably be better to pick that 1GHZ processor (your job should be completed in around 1/2 the time!).
CPU% reporting is also available, but is far less useful (%user, %system, %idle). If a job is introduced, it does NOT tell you how much of the CPU you can expect to get...
Reply:I wonder is something like SNMP would provide you with this functionality plus a whole lot more.

Can any body write a software in C language which is supposed to work in Linux. This is software is going to be placed at a server side on a port. Then a client will connect to the server through this port and the program is supposed to return the CPU usage of the server to the client.
Thank you for your co-operation

After booting windows from GRUB, I cannot see any drive other than C:\ in "My Computer"?
This is what happened-
1) I had Windows and LINUX on my computer. Windows had 3 partitions (C, D %26amp; E drives wih 10GB in each).
2) To delete LINUX, I right clicked on "My Computer", went to manage and deleted the space occupied by LINUX.
3) Now, when I start my computer, instead of going to Windows XP, it goes to GRUB%26gt; prompt.
4) I am able to boot Windows from GRUB using " rootnoverify (hd0,0) and chainloader +1".
5) However, in Windows I can only see the C drive with 10 GB. My other drives i.e D %26amp; E are not there
6) After right clicking on My computer and going to Manage, I can see that the remaining 30 GB is listed as "Healthy (Unknown)".
Can someone PLEASE help me in recovering my other drives.
I will be very grateful. The software support people are asking for $200 AN HOUR.

It sounds like you deleted the partitions. You can try and re-create the partitions exactly how they were and then do an unformat (do not format when creating the partition). However if your data is irreplaceable, it is worth paying the data recovery people. You might be able to find data recovery software that is cheaper. Do not use your computer any more than necessary until the recovery is completed.

How to install kernel source to my linux?
I am trying to install AntiVir anti-virus software on my Linpus linux.
I noticed that I have to install Dazuko, but it shows the following message.

It is saying my kernel source is not found. I am using the Linpus Linux 9.4, and the kernel version should be 2.6.20.61p.
Can anyone tell me what I can to install the kernel source code in this case?
Please, I really want to fix this problem.
How to install kernel source to my linux?
Here is the authoritative source of the Linux Kernel. Since you're compiling your own, it seems you have the necessary skills to upgrade the kernel to match the source if the precise one you have is not listed below. Enjoy!
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v...
Reply:You'll have to go ask the Linpus folks that one - the problem is that you need to compile against a kernel source tree that matches what you're running, which means you have two choices: (1) Get a kernel source package from your distro (Linpus) that matches what you're running or (2) Get a clean source tree from www.kernel.org, and build/install your own kernel.
CHoice 1 is usually easier for novice users.

I have heard of many C dialects! Ansi C and few others that I can not remember! What is the difference?
And wich one is used on Unix/Linux systems??
I know just a litle about C and I made few programs and compiled them on linux, using gcc compiler!
Thanks
I have heard of many C dialects! Ansi C and few others that I can not remember! What is the difference?
Many C dialects? It's better to think of it this way: There's standard C. This standard is accepted by ANSI (a standards organization). Hence, standard C is also referred to as ANSI C. Every compiler's objective is to match this standard, and then perhaps add to it.
Thus, when we refer to variations in C, we refer to the variations introduced by the compilers. All compilers have varying degrees of support for the C standard (ideally full support), and many introduce their own extensions to the language like gcc and Visual C++.
Learn ANSI C. You should learn the standard language before delving into compiler differences.

How to make Linux/ xp dual boot?
Yes it can be done the same way with Same hard drive or dual Hard drives. One thing you need to do is make sure you have your boot order correct before installing Ubunto.
C-XP. Master
D-Ubunto. Slave.
Now Make sure you Cable is also set up this Way. There is no Uninstall on Grub Loader without the XP CD and Command Promp--- fixmbr
Thank and enjoy. Get ready for the Error in Grub. You might want to read up on them before the install because if you don't get Grub right it will mess up everything.
Reply:are C and D different drives or the same drive with different partitions? if its the same drive, you can just install linux on the D partition and it will use the GRUB loader to dual boot. I've never done it on different physical drives, thats a little more difficult.

Linux partition errors?(linux users plz help)?
I have 80GB hard disk %26amp; I parted it in to C,D %26amp; E.And C,D has Windows XP.I need to install Linux red hat 9.0 to E.But when I continue installation it says,"You have not defined a root partition /, which is required for installation of Red Hat Linux to continue.
(I 'm new to Linux)
Linux partition errors?(linux users plz help)?
First you must remove all unused partitions to use Linux. It uses different file formats to Windows, these are based on the ext2 Unix file system. Most installers offer to do this for you, and you can then delete the other partitions. This partition needs to be deleted and then you will need to create at least one swap type partition and a / (root) partition. You will find an 80 GB drive is not really big enough to split this way, XP really needs about 80 GB on it's system drive to remain useful for long, and I don't know what you have left on the third partition, but Linux could also do with 80GB. You would be better to have all your XP on one 80 GB drive and install a second for Linux.
Reply:for the first step.. use partition manager in winxp to create free space and create linux partition.. then install linux..
usual linux partitions are "root, swap, home"
linux will be install in root partition and swap use for virtual memory

you can put as boots as you want. but the recommended option is to try a live cd. and i know the best one it is arabian it is found at http://arabian.arabicos.com.
installing linux could disturb your hard drive you should know how to partition it with linux file systems such as ext3, reiserFS

Is linux, in general, unstable?
I had an argument with my friend. He said that linux is unstable, where my pc can explode anytime due to unstability or something like that. He saids that it is what developers use to create apps with C++ (which I know is correct). I have linux ubuntu and I think it isn't unstable. Who is relatively right. I see millions of people having ubuntu so it can't be that unstable even though its open source. Am I correct?
Is linux, in general, unstable?
huh! what a joke !
linux is not unstable.
your pc is not compatible with linux ;) thats why it crash ;)

Reply:Linux is a remarkable stable operating system.
Reply:Any Operation System can be made to become unstable. Linux is inheriently more STABLE than Windows, however if you misconfigure something Linux can become a little loopy. Therefore it is better suited for someone that can deal with computers at a lower, more OS level aspect of computers.
Reply:Linux is so stable that it is used in most internet servers that have to be very reliable. Sorry, but your friend is wrong!!
Reply:Your friend is full of crap.
I've had a system up for 5 YEARS without a single reboot.
A bit extreme of an example, but, a very true example.
I don't particularly like Ubuntu...but if you try any "normal" flavor...Red Hat, Fedora, Debian, etc., you are working with systems that have set the standard.
When I hear these morons, I usually trace it back to their inability to operate the system in the first place.

Where can i get linux for beginners?

i have a formatted p.c ready to use as soon as i can find a linux op\system to install on it
does anyone know where i can find a free linux download?
Where can i get linux for beginners?
You will find a lot of information at http://www.linuxquestions.org , also as mentioned, http://www.linuxiso.org is somewhere to download from (it may not be up-to-date though). It's best to download from the homepage of the distro you choose. Also a magazine called Linux Format (available at WHSmiths) is a monthly magazine published in the UK, which has a DVD/CD each month with a Linux distro on it.
Reply:Try redhat.com. I also suggest picking up a book from the book store to get the basics down first.
Reply:I think SLAX is a good Linux OS for beginners. It's freely available at http://www.slax.org/download.php .
Moreover you can run it from a CD and don't have to partition/install the operating system on the PC. So you can have your existing OS (Say Windows XP) on your PC and whenever you need to use linux just put your SLAX (Linux OS) CD and reboot the machine.
PS: Just make sure that Boot sequence is set in the following order - CD, Floppy and then Hard Drive.
Hope this helps!

Gcc linux stray error?
Gcc stray error in linux..?
well, i made a program in dev C, since the codes are too long, i just copy and pasted it in linux gcc,when i compiled it, there are many stray errors, but all the errors are pointing out on the lines where i typed system("clear"); function, what can i do?
here's where one of the errors occur:
void compfirst()
{
int e=0;
system(“clear”);
printboard();
while(tracker1!=1)
{
compmove();
system(“clear”);
printboard();
e++;
if (tracker1==1)
{
return;
}
else if(e==5)
{
draws=1;
return;
}
playermove();
system(“clear”);
printboard();
} return 0;
when compiled, says stray eror,it is because i just pasted it?what will i do to correct it?do i need to remove the system clear functions? and make a different function?thanks
Gcc linux stray error?
Dunno. Clear works fine in Debian.
Seriously, more information is needed. What is the exact wording of the error messages, what include files do you list (the system command is correct however the only stray errors I know about or can reference are specific stray character messages: stray '/' etc). I understand that this is a pretty long program. I suggest you might ask in one of the C programming groups.

dual os in my system windows and linux, has virus in windows want to formet c drive alone and reinstall. i tried by putting bootable cd in cdrom, but system directly booting linux. prior is on cdrom only. windows is in c %26amp; d drive(40G), e %26amp; f(40G) formetted and installed linux (rhel-5)

make sure in your bios that it's set to boot from the cd-optical drive first. You can probably just get rid of the virus though. good luck

My C partition of the primary Hard disc disappeared!?
I was trying to install linux. something must have gone wrong as C is now the recovery partition that used to be D. Any way to restore the C partition? Thanks
My C partition of the primary Hard disc disappeared!?
im not exactly sure what you did to cause the problem but i can speculate.
1. you deleted the partion for your earlier C: and it is present as unpartitioned space.
to recover from this problem use an xpcd (i presume it is xp)and boot from cd. Then when it comes to the partitioning part create partion.
2.
You formattedyour hard drive to work with a diff file system so it is not being recognised by winodws now.(not a likely possibility). in which case you cannot do anything abt it.
3. by some goofy software glitch (read feature)
your drive letters have been reassigned. Happened to me once while i was trying to fix someone's fancy cash register. what i had to do was something old school use a floppy drive and a bootable floppy containing format.exe and reformatting everything from scratch.
Actually the answer from the earlier guy might work well too.
Reply:regedit. HKLM\System\MountedDevices. rename the drive letters and reboot.

How can i access usp port in c# plz?
and i prefer to know can i write a c# code can be compiled on linux system?
finally thanks about ur time
How can i access usp port in c# plz?
You cannot directly access a USB port through C# (as in, there is no standard set of classes to do this in the .Net framework). You have to read the device itself plugged into this port through a device driver the manufacturer provided.
So you have three choices. 1) Find the driver for the device and install it on your PC and hope it has an API that you can use or 2) Hope you can find a USB library that supports the device you want to read/write to (they are hard to find and usually cost money). 3) Lastly, write your own driver using a lower level language like C or maybe even C++.
As for writing code in C# on your linux system, I have included a link that will get you started with a compiler and example code to test if it compiles on your machine.
Enjoy!
Reply:you need a c compiler. the best one out there is gcc. you need gcc as well to compile most stuff

I can not see my linux partition after i formatted my drive...?
i had 80 gb of space and i used 60 for windows xp my os installed in c drive with 20 gb and rest is drive d(40gb)..i used 20 gb for linux..due to some virus problem i formatted my c and d drive and didnt touch linux partition ...now my problem is i not able to see my linux partition neither i can use that space..how can i make it visible
I can not see my linux partition after i formatted my drive...?
I think your boot loader was in hd0 and it was formatted and as you install win XP it's only not detecting i\the linux partition
just install one of these
http://sourceforge.net/projects/ext2fsd
http://www.fs-driver.org/
and back up whatever you need and install linux again.
Reply:You will only see the linux partition when inside of linux.
You shouldn't see it when inside of windows.
So if you boot to nix and then do a cfdisk you should see the win32 and the linux/linux swap.

Hi, I've been thinking about switching from vista to linux. I know Linux isn't such a memory hog like vista is but by how much? I would be running this on my lap top. (presario: 1gb ram, 128mb video card, 80gb HD, 1.6gHZ AMD) What performance gains would I see, if any? I don't care about the prettyness of vista(I turned most features off to make my comp. run more efficient including aero) I'm just tired of wasting all my money on windows which is really restrictive. My computer knowledge is intermediate to a little advanced, long time windows user and never used any other operating systems, and I would also like to learn c++. What else should I know about linux? Where can I get a copy and what software do you recommend with it? Any input appreciated. Thanks.
Linux, Yes or No?
you can find information on linux distrobutions from www.distrowatch.com
distros such as ubuntu and pclinuxos are for beginners to linux. the ubuntu forums are an excellent source of information if you choose to go with ubuntu.
there are links on distrowatch to download the distros.
if you are a gamer, then you might have some trouble converting to linux completely but there are ways to run games and other windows programs on linux through WINE, a windows emulator.
any version of linux should run quite comfortably on that laptop. you might have some trouble with the wireless, especially if the wifi card is a broadcom.

Reply:i tried that but was so confused i switched back.
you could try a diffrent kind of linux to see what it's like, it dosnt install but can run off of a cd or USB device.

Reply:go to your computer manufactures web site and look there.
once on the website search for linux,
Dell, HP, Compaq all support linux, and do install it. only if you ask for linux
Dell support Ubuntu Linux
Compaq I think support Red Hat Linux
so you will need to ask what version of linux do they support...
Never the less you can run most versions of linux from the CD ROM before you decide to install it,,
it will find all your hardware.if there is problems loading the live version then it will not run. if that happens then you don't install it... you know there is a problem
Reply:I think you'll notice a performance difference. How to quantify it I'm not sure. I would suggest giving Ubuntu a try, www.unbuntu.com. There is a link from there to download the most recent version. You'll then have to burn an iso of the downloaded file and then install it. After that you can get whatever software you want for it, for free. You'll need to check around to make sure but I think that gcc (a compliler) is not included in the default install and you'll want to get that after you've installed the OS if you want to learn about c++. There is a very easy to use GUI package installer included and you can download free software for just about anything.
If you don't want to download the iso image and burn it you can also buy a CD from them for a few bucks and have them send it to you.

A C compiler for Windows Vista?
Can someone tell me a free compiler for Vista and also how exactly to use it to compile and run a .c file? (I'm used to Linux/command line so please be specific)
A C compiler for Windows Vista?
Sorry, I don't know any, in the windows world your looking at coughing up some dollar to get a compiler.
Reply:i think Borland C++ compiler is best .. though dont trust me :)
Reply:One program you might want to try is Dev-CPP at bloodshed.net. It is a free IDE (integrated development environment) for windows that supports C and C++. I know it runs on xp, but I am not sure how vista will effect it. This is not the best thing out there and it has some quirks in it... but it does work, it is free, and is a relatively small download (I believe around 14 MB). It also has an online update with several plugins and extra libraries. However, they have not updated the IDE for sometime and I am not sure if they still develop it.
Dev-CPP uses the MiniGW compiler/libraries. So if you only want a compiler and library set without an IDE, you might want to look into it at minigw.org
You might also be interested in Microsoft's Visual C++ Express. It is free.... but it strays further from standard C and has a few limitations that, depending on our intended purposes, may affect your goals. Google it and see if it has what you want or if there are ways around the limitations.

C++ compilers?
i need a good website which gives me a free download of a c++ compiler for red hat enterprise linux operating system.
C++ compilers?
Actually, the GNU compilers should have been installed with Linux - they have been on every Linux system I've ever set up. You can test it by typing 'man gcc' to see if the man page comes up - that's usually a good indicator. If you chose not to install the compilers, they're still on the install discs, or you can download them from http://gcc.gnu.org/

Can anyone please help me.
I like linux for it's reliability but what a reliability can do if I can't enjoy it?
I have crashed windows almost for 150 times and linux only twice. So it saves my time so please help me.
And can you suggest any online reading for linux. I am reading fedora core2 by C. Negus.
Please tell me how to install any software using WINE and also how can I attach Linux Programs/Softwares to linux.
what is use of rpm files. Can I delete rpms after I run command rmp -U packagename.rpm
I am thankful to any who can help me.

I don't know what to tell you. I've had problems with the Fedora family of operating systems, video playback being only one of them. I find that Ubuntu is the best for most people. With a little tinkering, you can get DVDs and many other media formats to play on Ubuntu. I don't know what format the videos you want to watch are in, but you might want to try Ubuntu to see what is available. It will not support all of the proprietary formats on install, but there are all sorts of packages in the database that will enable you to get things working. From my experience, WINE is difficult to use and rarely works right. If you want to switch to Ubuntu and need help, email me. If nothing else, you should upgrade to a newer version of Fedora if your computer will support it. I think that you are about three versions behind. Good luck!
Reply:You have a lot of questions here.
The best place to get Linux questions answered is http://www.linuxquestions.org/
As far as watching music videos, etc. I recommend downloading either mPlayer or Xine although installing them can take a while as they both have lots of dependancies. You can get rpms by doing a google search.

Changing from Windows XP Home to Linux?

Should I format the "C" disc before inserting the

I dont want Windows anymore.
If I format before installing Linux will my CD
driver still work ?
Changing from Windows XP Home to Linux?
You don't have to format the drive before inserting the CD. Insert the CD and restart the computer. This should start the installation process. One of the steps in installation will ask if you want to format your drive, and you can say yes.
Reply:i found this as i might do the same .
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual_boot
hope this helps ..at least try before you switch fully
Reply:If it's a full installation disk, just use it as in any other install process - you'll be asked whether you want to format during the process.
I guess you're wanting to know if your CD drive will still work after Linux is installed. I don't know. Before you do anything, why not go on-line to Belarc Adviser for a run-down of your present set-up and find out your drive's manufacturer, then contact them to check whether you need a different driver.
I've seen some that carry on regardless and some that flatly refuse to work, but I can't remember which, sorry.
Good Luck!
Reply:If you're sure you don't want XP, you can format it before inserting the Linux CD...or during installation of Linux, it doesn't matter. Make sure the CD is bootable. (Shutdown the system. Insert CD and power it on. If Linux installation doesn't start, either the CD is not bootable or BIOS is not configured to boot from CD. If BIOS is configured to boot from CD but linux installation doesn't start, the CD is not bootable.)

Reply:Generally your CD drive should be plug and play, and work with linux without a problem, however you can try testing whether it will work or not by downloading linux live- a version that will run completely off the disk and bypass windows temporarily. this will let you use linux without uninstalling windows just so you can test whether or not it works. you can find a Live CD version of linux very easily by searching for it on google.
this is the one that i used: http://www.linux.org/dist/download.html?...
and when it comes to reformatting your hard drive- if ur sure there are no files on it you want still, u can reformat any time; before or after, it doesnt really matter but if you do it before you can ensure your hard drive has no remains of windows left over

What is the comparison function of linux sort?
For string comparison, it seems Linux sort assume number %26lt; lowercase %26lt; uppercase. However, the ASCII value is: number %26lt; uppercase %26lt; lowercase. Thus, the comparison function of Linux sort is different from that of C function strcmp(). Is this a bug, or it is designed in this way for some purpose?
What is the comparison function of linux sort?
Does this help:
The default sort order depends on the value of LC_COLLATE.
If LC_COLLATE is set to C, sorting will be in ASCII order.
If LC_COLLATE is set to en_US, sorting is case insensitive
except when the two strings are otherwise equal and one has
an uppercase letter earlier than the other. Other locales
will have other sort orders.

Linux storing IP address configuration information?
I'm trying to conduct research on how Linux stores IP address configuration information, also, where and in which files the DNS server and domain suffix information are stored.
This is for the developement of a graphical network configuration utility for Linux.
If anyone can give me some info or some decent sites I could use to conduct research.
Also, I'm also unsure as to which of the programming languages would be best to use between:
Visual C# under the .NET framework on a windows system
or
C++ with Trolltech's QT on a Linux server.
All help is greatly appreciated.
Linux storing IP address configuration information?
Configuration files are kept in /etc.
/etc/resolv.conf for DNS
/etc/hosts for static mapppings
/etc/networks for static network mappings
As for network configuration it is specific to the flavour of Linux.
Can be in /etc/network or in /etc/rc.d or somewhere else. You'll have to google for each flavour you want to support.
.Net is not appropriate for Linux development. Qt is good but you will have to release your code under the QPL unless you buy a license. Alternatives are Gtk+ and wxWindows.
Reply:Ok, to start from the bottom, why would you even consider writing this in a programming language not supported by Linux? None of the .Net crap will be good to use with Linux.
The file that DNS name servers are stored in is /etc/resolv.conf.
The networking information depends on the Linux Distro that you are using.
SuSE uses:
/etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth-id-%26lt;M... Address%26gt;
or
/etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg--wlan-id-... Address%26gt;
Red Hat uses:
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-%26lt;... name%26gt;
Debian based systems use:
/etc/network/interfaces
and others.
Good luck.

Gcc in linux mint???
will gcc be installed by default in linux mint which is used to compile C progs..????
if not, hw will i be able to install it????
Gcc in linux mint???
It looks like the full version is not included out-of-the-box, so you would have to install it manually. I have never used Mint, but I am 100% sure it comes with a package management system that should make it very easy for you to get it. If not, there will also be a command-line utility for getting it, equivalent to "zypper" in openSUSE. Basically, as long as you have an internet connection, I am sure it'll be easy for you.

Ubuntu linux ..help to install?
Here's a good XP Dual-boot Video:

Which Linux version (free) you can recommend?
I need Linux on my pc, for programming on C/Unix. But there are so many versions of Linux.
Which one among free versions is better?
Which Linux version (free) you can recommend?
The one you want is PCLinuxOS ( http://www.pclinuxos.com ). Of the Linuxes I've looked at, it's by far the best at problem-free installation and correctly configuring your hardware by itself. (In fairness, I haven't looked at the last couple versions of Ubuntu.) PCLinuxOS is both a live CD, and installable from the same CD, so you can see how well it's going to work with your hardware before you install it.
If you want the easiest transition from Windows, you want to stay with the KDE graphical interface, and avoid Gnome. PCLinuxOS uses KDE; Ubuntu uses Gnome.

(even major distributors try to adapt)
Reply:I would also recomend Ubuntu Linux, because it is highly compatible, one of the easiest to use, still has all of the tools you need, comes in many preconfigured flavors (Ubuntu (Gnome), Kubuntu (KDE), etc), and has some neat effects (though you shouldn't really look at those to make your decision...)
Updates are frequent, so you always have the current software and drivers you need. A whole new version is released every six months, and each version is supported for 18 months. You can upgrade to the next edition using the same program you use for updates, without deleting files or settings.
The software repositories are immense, but there are still tools to make it easy to manually install software.
There is full functionality and access to all of the tools you need whether you are working from a graphical environment, text-based environment, or both.
Reply:wwww.google.com "yourhardware linux install" will tell you what people have installed on your type of machine, the problems they ran into, and the fixes for problems encountered.
Reply:Yeah, ubuntu is pretty user friendly and it's quick to get it up and running. getting wireless to work on some laptops can be a headache.

Will installing linux after installing winxp affect the existing files and the winxp operating system?
i have a pc loaded with winxp. mother board asus, processor amd 64, ram 512, harddisk 160 gb, partitions 3[40,80,40 gbs]
i am keen to instal linux in partition d or e. will installing the linux affect the files stored in the c partition and the os [winxp] also installed in c drive.
Will installing linux after installing winxp affect the existing files and the winxp operating system?
If everything works correctly with your Linux installation, your WinXP C:/ drive and files will be fine.
I've done this at least a hundred times: once or twice there were problems that I didn't create myself.
As mentioned above, this should be a totally easy thing to do and usually it is.
Helpful hints:
1. Back up your files that you don't want to lose. Use an external drive or CD's, then remove them from the computer so you can't make a mistake.
2. Write down which partition you want to install Linux to, not just as "D" drive, but as "first hard drive, third partition, 19995MB" because the installer may not list them the same way you do and you want to know as many distinguishing features as possible.
3. On installation, check your notes! Don't rely on your memory!
See- now you're smarter than me!
Reply:nope, everything will be how you left it. It just takes blank space for the partition and creates a new drive out of it.

Reply:It won't overwrite anything in your C:\ partition unless you tell it to. Just be careful during the installation. Most linux distributions nowadays have fantastic installers, so you should be fine. Good luck! You've made a good choice.
Reply:yes
Reply:Installing onto D or E will not change the files on C. You may have some work configuring a dual or multi-boot system to get linux to boot instead of Windows, but the files on C should not be changed at all unless you tell linux to change them.

Acer aspire 4310 driver for linux?
currenlly my laptop running with win vista and had 2 partition..drive c and d....actually i want to fixed 2 OS inside my laptop...drive c: for win vista and d:Linux(any type)so can i do so???is it portable with my laptop..acer only provide driver for installing win xp and win vista platform...where i want to download acer driver that suitable with LINUX???
Acer aspire 4310 driver for linux?
You wont need adriver for the hard drive, it doesn't really work like that, you install the os through the disk and then install drivers - if your hard ddrive isn't recognised it won't install at all and you'll have to remaster the disk (can be technical if you have no linux experience). Linux doesnt have drive letters like C and D it recognises the drives in a slightly different way so make sure you know which drive your writing on prior to installing anything.
My advice would be to try a live disk, if everything works how you want it to then take the dive and install it. A live disk gives you a taster of exactly what linux will be like on your laptop and any drivers that aren't present on the live disk won't be after the install so you also get a ytaster of compatability issues.
I'd recommend suse with kde or ubuntu, suse is much prettier and I personally prefer it but ubuntu has a massive base of followers and packed forums so you'd probably get more support with it, it's also slightlier easier going from Windows to ubuntu in my opinion, suse is much prettier though and isn't TOO hard to master.
I've provided links for live disks to both in my source.
Reply:most things just work in linux.
things that don't are video (very difficult to install) network cards, only hard to find drivers.
and anything else probably will work straight away, or never work
but drivers for what part of your acer aspire 4310?
Reply:Most Linux distributions will have all the drivers they need built-in. There is no need to download extra drivers.

How do I remove Sabayon - Linux OS from a Toshiba laptop set up with a dual boot to WinXP Home, too?
I've acquired a Toshiba laptop with two operating systems on it. WinXP Home and Sabayon-Linux. I've looked in the WinXP Control Panel-Add/Remove Programs but there is no reference to Linux. I've looked at My Computer - C:\ drive and see no reference or folders to the Linux system. I've done a global search for the term Sabayon on the C:\ drive, no joy. I have Administrator privileges on the WinXP OS, but only a logon password for the Linux OS. The previous owner got the PC with both OS' installed. I have a legit copy of WinXP Home with validation codes. I also have an OEM disk of WinXP Pro with activation codes, but when I tried to use it, it said it was an older version of XP and declined to run.
I am totally unfamiliar with Linux and would like to regain the hard drive space being occupied by the Linux OS.
I would prefer not to have to reformat the drive and reinstall the WinXP and lose all the installed programs. TIA
How do I remove Sabayon - Linux OS from a Toshiba laptop set up with a dual boot to WinXP Home, too?
From windows xp you can go to my computer and just format the the drive that linux is on. And then go to control panel adminstators tools and disk managment and from there you should be able unpartician the drive.
Reply:FIRST you MUST use "fixmbr" to overwrite the grub boot loader. Once that is done, and the machine only boots to windoze, you can safely use windoze to reformat the linux partition. If you delete Linux without overwriting grub with fixmbr your machine will stop before booting, until you use fixmbr.
But, if you have a working Sabayon partition, why not tinker with it? Sabayon is an interesting linux distribution.
Being a handicapped (by M$) OS, Windoze can not see/read linux partitions. M$ doesn't want you using anything but M$-compatible programs, preferably paying $$$ to M$.

Linux....please help me.?
i,ve installed linux in my last H drive(xp is on c drive)....when i boot from linux how to see the files of other drive(d,f,g)...or could u say how to see the files on other drives??????
Linux....please help me.?
You installed linux on Your last partition ...
First of all it would be nice to tell us what distro You have installed, do You use kde or gnome, and do You have ATA or SATA hdd?
anyway ... If You are using KDE in konqueror type media://
and press enter. That should help ... (I will help You if You write some more informations)
Reply:"Samba" is nearly the defacto standard for accessing windows drives from linux. As a previous poster stated, Ubuntu installs it by default.
Reply:you may need to install an ntfs driver. its not that hard, then to see the other drives, you can use the mount command
just use man mount to see how to use it
or you can edit fstab and have those drives automounted during bootup
Reply:it depends on what linux distribution u have... some distribution of linux put them in /media and some put them in /mnt. or mount them manually..
if you're new to linux please visit this link http://www.distromania.com and download ubuntu linux.. easier to use... plug and play.. have a time to check another link below
wish you luck
Reply:You will need a third partition that you can access from both drives/operating systems. So, you would need to re-format the drive, with three partitions.
Reply:Well Ubuntu and most modern distributions come with NTFS read write support. You may need to install it or enable it. In Ubuntu when you boot it will automatically detect all drives and drop a link on your desktop. VectorLinux SOHO is the same.
Reply:In order to see files on other drives, you have to mount the drive. In linux, you should know what the hd (device) name is and how linux sees it. you have to dedicate a folder on the linux drive to use as a mount point. then, you issue the mount command in a terminal screen. The syntax is "mount -t (fstype) /dev/hda /mnt/otherdrive" where (fstype) is the filesystem type on the drive (might be ntfs) "/dev/hda" is replaced with however your system sees your original drive, and "/mnt/otherdrive" is the folder you created in linux.
Once you do this, your xp drive will appear as though it's located in the folder /mnt/otherdrive and you can access the files and folders just as you would any other.

Linux Ubuntu Unistall Gone Bad?
I have Vista install on my Acer T180 desktop. I installed Linux Ubuntu and it didn't work due to some X thing wouldn't work. I had three partitions C:, D:, and PQSERVICE...
After installing Linux. I decided if it wasn't going to work I didn't want it because of the X thing not loading. I found out that Linux after installing created two partitions. One of 4.5 GB and one of 251 MB. I asked on here and they told me to delete the two partitions created created by Linux. I deleted them and now when I start up my computer, It won't load...It says verifying DMI data pool, or something like that..Then it says loading Grub 1.5. Then it goes to loading Grub 2 and then it stalls and says Error 22.
I just want to undo all these changes and boot vista back like it was before.
Is there anyway I can do this?
Any help will be greatly appreciated, Thanks
Linux Ubuntu Unistall Gone Bad?
Quite a dilemma, your GRUB install from linux is looking for files that don't exist any longer. There are a few ways to get the MBR (master boot record) back to it's normal state however you need the Vista installation cd which contains the "Windows Recovery Environment" (formerly known as the "recovery console" on good old XP).
The first thing I would try is boot up into the vista CD, "startup repair" it may do all that for you.
If not, reboot the Vista CD, select "recovery environment" and select "command prompt" (hey just like linux :) and type these to completely recover your vista bootloader:
"Bootrec /FixMbr"
"Bootrec /FixBoot"
I would try a reboot at this point it may be all you need. However if still nothing you may have to rebuild the BCD :( so once again reboot the Vista CD, select "recovery environment" and select "command prompt" and run these:
"Bootrec /ScanOs"
"Bootrec /RebuildBcd"
Reboot the system and yet again reboot the Vista CD, select "recovery environment" and select "command prompt"
"boot\bootsect.exe /60 ALL"
then copy the bootmgr from the Vista disk (which is on the root of the DVD) to the root of the active partition. eg Type
"d:" (if your dvd is d:), then type
"xcopy bootmgr c:\"
At this point the system should be bootable again (whew)!
cheers
EDIT - found a good source w/ examples :)
EDIT2 - Would you believe, I found a link to download a standalone Vista Recovery Envrionment ISO disk
Reply:you will find on here that there are more idiots than enough giving advice on things they think they know about but don't
well here is the thing now... windows will not be able to read the linux partitions.. it is a different format.. where Linux can read any partition format. windows can't
You should have run the live cd for a while to see if ubuntu would run on your system without problems,,
Linux as a second to none support group. what you should have done was to join the unbutu support group, to find out all you needed to know. from the professional linux people.. they are there to help you..
What you will have to do now is renistall vista.. find out if you can do a complete disk partition, from the vista cd. if not then your going to have the linux partions still there..
in future anything you do, and before you do it always go to the proper place.. the support groups.. and ask the questions you need to know, before hand.. Yahoo answers is not the proper place to ask Linux questions..There are to many Idiot know alls on here that know nothing.
Reply:Why don't you just forget everything, quick format the hard drive and install windows vista?
So your saying if you put a vista disk or ubuntu in your drive, restart your computer, it won't boot?

Is experience more important, when it comes to C++ and coding?
My husband has been a C++ programmer, he also knows linux, SQL, Java, running a pc virtual machine, pretty much everything there is to know about computers, this guy knows it. hes self taught, and is thinking about going to get his A.A, problem is, is spending 40 grand on a peice of paper worth it? is that what employers look for instead of his 5 years of experience and 13 years of coding? please tell me what you think.
Is experience more important, when it comes to C++ and coding?
His expirence seems flawless, and any employer will be looking for that. Allot of us out there have tons of knowlege about computers, but can't get jobs or careers, or even afford to go to college. His knowlege is very useful and he has several areas of expertiece. If he wants more, which most programmers, and coders do, then he should goto school and get it over with. He just might run into that certain employer that wants to see that $40,000.00 piece of paper. As long as he balances the thin line of Experience with education you can't go wrong.
Reply:I failed out of college and manage to keep getting jobs in the programming industry. If I can get into the interview, it's all downhill from there cause I know my stuff. Most places won't look at me though without it. It's there loss, although I will be getting my degree soon so I can increase my earning power and avoid being rejected by someone's bias against my lack of a degree.
The piece of paper really is worthless, most colleges don't even teach you enough to get out in the field programming, just the basics.
Reply:The "piece of paper" shows commitment, persistence and trainability. All good traits for a prospective employee. It shows an employer that someone was committed to a task and followed through.
Reply:Getting an associates degree in CS shouldn't cost that much. I got a 4 year degree (in Oklahoma) and my TOTAL tuition cost was $16,000.
Experience is gold, but a degree can get you in the door so that people will let you show off that experience.
Could he do online courses or get mondo-certifications: A+, C++, etc? A bunch of accrediations might also open doors.
Reply:As an alternative to a degree, he could instead take standardized tests offered by IEEE and similar professional organizations to get certified.
If he has only his experience, most software development forms won't be interested unless he can demonstrate his skills first.
Reply:Experience in the IT/computer programming field is very important. Almost every employer is looking for at the very least 1yr experience but usually they want 5+ years. Some companies will hire somone that has the equivilent amount of experince to a 4 year degree. It really depends on the employer.
Before he goes to get a degree, get on monster.com, carreerbuilder.com and look for programming jobs, apply to a few even if they are asking for a BS in computer science. You may also want to contact a potential employeer and ask if they except years of experience in leu of a degree.
Good luck!
Reply:Experience is important and it shows the difference between senior developers and junior developers. However, nowadays certification is the most important thing for the employer. Certification is like a proof of skill and expertise.

First of all, it might be an idea to check that your kernel understands NTFS. The command below will give a list of all the filesystems that Linux understands. If you see ntfs, then you are OK. Also it might be a good idea to read the mount manual, man 8 mount.
cat /proc/filesystems
Next you need to create a place to mount the NTFS Volume. Then you can mount it.
mkdir /mnt/windows
mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows -t ntfs -r
sp
Unable to mount
error: device /dev/sda1 is not removable
error: could not execute pmount

Linux CAN read NTFS file systems reliably.
You may have to add the support.
Have you created an entry in your fstab file and a moint point directory????

Reply:Linux doesn't read NTFS for one thing.

External function in c language?
I have an employee program with about 10 functions in c language. I am using linux/unix to write this program how can i create two of my functions externals function. after that i need to make a file but first i need to know how to create external functions the teacher explain both to me. I thought i had it but when i start coding it didn't work so give me a hand.
External function in c language?
Create another program like normal with the functions in it and add the new program to your makefile.
What error messages did you get when you tried compiling? Use the -Wall flag on gcc to get all errors and warnings. They may be helpful.

Is file sharing not possible in linux??
in our lab classes we boot through windows-xp and use telnet to use linux (i suppose)and program in c with specific commands .BUT WE ARE REALLY UNAWARE OF FILE SHARING IN Linux.
thanks.

If it's something you think should be coveed in teh course, ask the teacher of said course
Reply:If you're talking about an actual file sharing program by any chance (sounds like you're talking about ftp), then a good file sharing client for Linux is Nicotine+, it's a Soulseek client.

and y cant that teacher answer u? tell him/her to resign and go home!!!!
Reply:We did the same thing in my college but we used FTP to transfer files. I imagine your school's linux servers have FTP so try FTPing to the same IP you telnet to and use your telnet credentials.

If you've got the expat parser, why not go look at the example programs at the site?
For example, the line.c sample program prints the tags, text, and other goodies. Just modify it to print only the text. (It's a really short program.) Link included below...
%26lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?%26gt;
%26lt;note%26gt;

How can I compile a C/c++ file to a binary file (not EXE or ELF)?
I want to create a small kernel and then a small operating system. I have created the boot sector and a small kernel in asm (I use flat assembler). But it is very difficult to continue this way. So I want to create the operating system in C/C++ (and some asm code). Linux was created this way. But I don't know any compiler which can bring me a PURE BINARY code.
This means code for BIOS not for DOS.
Even if I write my own functions, and I don't use %26lt;stdio.h%26gt; or other, the OBJ file is created with DOS interrupts.
And let's not forget that I need a flat code, not an EXE, ELF or other.
Please excuse my bad English.
How can I compile a C/c++ file to a binary file (not EXE or ELF)?
have you tried the linux compiler "GCC"?
when I want to compile my linux kernel or even my boot loader I compile it with GCC
there is a version of GCC for windows i think it is called mingw but not sure
Reply:Well, here is a good place to start, assuming that you're attempting the Intel platforms. Other platforms will have similar sites. I hope this will give you more specific information. Good luck!

How do you make install packages for linux programs you make?
I know absolutely nothing about linux application development, and am a C++ programmer. What I mean is that I'm not familiar with linux's API nor how to create deployment packages.
Do the packages have to be unique for every flavour of linux?
Once I compile an application, what am I supposed to do next. What if it has a GUI, not using wxWidgets (as well as using wxWidgets)
I've tried googling with not much success.
How do you make install packages for linux programs you make?
Usually the formats for source code that is distro free are either compressed on bzip2 or tar.gz files. You may need filters capable of converting to these type of files in order to get the source code packed. Also you need to make a "configure" and "make" script (one of each) in order to get the software installed on the system in order to run it.
Hope this info gives you some ideas.

Windows Backup & Recovery using Linux?
I have an old computer I let my children play on. We often download free/trial software use it for a while then get tired of it. As a result, I'm adding and removing software constantly. After a couple of months, the computer is seriously bloated and slow. So, I loaded a fresh copy of Windows XP and registered it. Then, I booted to a copy of Linux Live and copied the entire C drive to an empty partition. I then erased the C drive and copied the backup back to the orginal partition. Now, when I boot, I get a message saying, "NTLOADER missing." Why? It's exactly the same software.
Windows Backup %26amp; Recovery using Linux?
just boot up your pc.
then type this:
fdisk /mbr
Reply:Because you trashed the Master Boot Record.
To find out how to fix it, google for Fix MBR

I have two hard drives, and i want to intsall linux on one of them?
Hi, I have two hard drives, C: and J:. I want to install linux on one of them (the c hard drive). I also want it so that on the boot up, it will ask me if i want it to boot up in linux or in windows xp. I know this is possible, as this is what my friends computer does. i have plenty of hard drive space, the only problem is how to make it so it asks me to boot in windows or linux. please help!
I have two hard drives, and i want to intsall linux on one of them?
Linux has something called grub/lilo its a much more sophisticated version of boot.ini and almost all the time except with SATA drives it will configure itself and work perfectly. You should be able to choose installation paths when you install your os, if i remember correctly your drives will also be labelled so you dont format your Windows drive by accident.
I'm sure you know, but in linux theres no letters for hard drives its SDA/HDA1 and 2 depending on partitions etc, most of the time hda/sda1 is your primary drive, anyway, I'sd read about that and make sure your drive is identified properly before you install (as i said it should be automated).
Reply:Generally, this is in the realm of the computer guru. Yes, multi-system computers are becoming more widely used.
Initialize the second drive. Do a quick format (probably a FAT or FAT32). There's a part of Microsoft's installation setup that will partition available disk space AND (re)set the boot-up program with variable operating system selections. Direct the Linux installation onto the available disk space
Reply:Just install the linux in one of the hard drives, it should take care of everything.

PLZZ help regarding few basics of ubutu LINUX(5.10).?
How to establish a broadband internet connection(ppoe which requires a username and password) moreover how do i access the files which are on partitions other than the one on which ubuntu linux is installed.Windows xp shows c:(on which it is installed) ,d: and e: whereas the partitioned space taken away by linux isn't visible and in linux i clicked almost everywhere ! but i could not find any of those drives .Should i use the partition manager to copy files on the partition which linux is using or is there a better way by which both operating systems can use the files without having an extra copy of them
PLZZ help regarding few basics of ubutu LINUX(5.10).?
re broadband internet:
pppoeconf -- you need your ISP account userid and password. You can test this out on the live CD if you want.
re disk partitions:
If your windows partition is NTFS (win2k and winxp use it) then it is wise to set up a small, seperate FAT32 partition if you have some linux files you want to share with your windows. Otherwise, it is easy to have linux read your windows files.
Just create an entry in your /etc/fstab file.
/dev/hda1 /windows ntfs nls=utf8,umask=0222 0 0
