detecting hddprimary master
Yes. All you have to do is give Linux its own partition.
As a laptop repair tech I see this problem often and there are only 2 ways to remove the HDD password on your Gateway computer. First way is to contact Gateway Support and they can calculate the HDD master password for your hard drive.
Dual-boot or multiboot.
the hard drive(HDD)
HDD is an abbreviation for "Hard Disk Drive." Hard disk drives are the primary form of file storage found in a computer.
you can't, sorry it doesn't allow it you can install Linux distributions on usb though :D
Connect new hdd and check for proper jumper connection. Configure both HDD to master and slave if they are connected using same IDE cable or if they both have different set of IDE cables, then just connect the HDD and provide power cable from SMPS.. Similar for SATA HDD
if you want to setup deep freeze installation to a hdd, you have to fdisk the hdd only one primary partition, not a primary and a logical partion. my friends had been using the deep freeze on the hdd over 1 TB and there is no problem. thanks...
My best guess would be just one.
You can install Puppy linux by typing "install" when it asks how it should be booted. from there you have options from installing it to LiveUSB, HDD, and many more options. Note: if you choose to install Puppy linux on Compact Flash, make sure a Partition has been created.
Yes. Though with a hard disk of such small size it'd probably just be a good idea to just do Windows 7 and Linux.
