raw754 Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 anyone?is it possible to burn windows to a cd so i could install it on another computer???... There is a way to copy the files, but I am way too lazy this morning to type the instructions. Just go to maximumpc.com and search for cloning operating system, that should yield you plenty of results... BTW, I am running ubuntu on kids computer and for most part no problems, they just can't play any of the windows games on it... But there are ways around that as well... Hope this helps!!!

Kian Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 can download and use ubuntu Ubuntu FTMFW if you want it, its free, but you have to have software to bur the .iso image to a cd at the slowest speed your cd drive will let you. and to copy windows on a cd, NO. you can copy some of your programs, some of the programs you use are in the computers registry, (Do not mess with that) , but i would go with Ubuntu super stable Operating System. and its free.

raytard Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 both my laptops have ubuntu, and they only problem i've had is that one likes to drop wireless if I reboot it, but no biggie if you have a 4gig flashdrive you can make a bootable usb stick, just plug it in to any computer that is usb bootable and you can load it up and run it off the flashdrive without messing up your hdd's while you wait for windows 7, but its considerably slower that way (since eveerything is running off usb, not sata/ide) a program called "unetbootin" will format any compatible flash drive to be a boot drive, download whatever flavor of linux you want, and thats kinda it, its friggin cake, it just may take a while to download 4 gigs off info. I think mine took 3 hours or so Quote Build: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...hl=avalon+build monster/rockford/kicker/stinger cables, pioneer source, jbl highs/amps, kinetik/shuriken batts, iraggi alt, dei security, dc subs(atleast for now) Team DC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raw754 Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 You can save files (Banking info,smaller programs,etc.) onto a cd or a flash drive as mentioned above. I thought the OP was asking if he could make a copy of someone else's Vista and put on his computer. Which can be done, it is called cloning an operating system - but it isn't a beginner's task, which is why I referred to pc website. So he could read what was involved/at risk and make decision on his own... I clone my OS at first boot, so if there's a problem I just pop that in, and i'm right back to where I was!!! ***I back-up to flashdrive everynight, btw...*** OP: Search and there are Key generators still out there for XP!!! Google's your friend!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
