wait ako ng bagong distro's kasi hindi lahat ng bagong distros may support sa sata. anyway pag available na idownload ko rin. medyo mahirap din kasi kahit sa xp hindi supported laptop ko. pesteng billgates yan gusto nya s vista lang laptop ko

 

Yes. Windows XP does not, natively, supports SATA drives. you need a third party driver for that.

 

The only way to install Windows XP, with a SATA drive, is to load third party drivers (press F6 when loading). The catch is that you need to have your drivers on a floppy.

 

When XP boots watch the bottom of the screen it will prompt you when to press F6. Then see if you can browse for the drivers. May be try putting it on a flash drive and see if it will find it or get a USB floppy and see if that will work.

 

Maybe consider using vista basic since it has SATA support built in.

I've had no trouble setting up a regular SATA drive with SuSE 9.2, 9.3 or Ubuntu 5.

 

Try the followinig options:

 

1. Go to the bios and look for something called SATA Support, and disable it, and start the computer again form the CD.

2. Check your bios (only in some bios) if your drive is detected as the first controller.

3. Lastly, try to check if your mobo has an updated bios version. Backup your current bios version, flash it with the new one, then try to install the drive again.

sarap gumamit ng linux. lalo na yung gaim. tapos ibat ibang browser. sayang hindi madetect ang wireless ng laptop ko. pero 90% ok sakin to. any software na pwedeng magrun sa linux na parang autocad???

 

You might wanna try Medusa (http://www.cad-schroer.com/index.php?ziel=Products-MEDUSA-M4Personal&land=com&scr=1.1). I don't really use this kind of software so I can't say if it's good but it would be good to hear feedback from someone who can evaluate its functionalities.

I use Slackware Linux ver 12 for HDD full install.

 

I use SLAX live CD for run on CD or Flash Drive without the need of a hard drive.

 

I also use SLAX live CD to remove virus on flash drives and mobile hard drive and also to recover important files form a crashed Windows PC.

well.. i didn't have any problem, but i heard about some quirks in a few forums, but this is up to your underlying computer system. if you should have any problems, just post your questions/troubles here and I will try to do my best. By the way, as mentioned, my system is upgraded starting from breezy and the only time i really had a few problems was from edgy to feisty (because of the introduction of upstart).
