Re: how to locate linux partitions?
Make installation media right now while you can. It is always a good idea to have a USB stick with Windows on it and a few USB sticks with various Linux distros on them.

Re: [SOLVED] Repair a Crucial 250GB SSD
Yes, that may be true but the SSD that I have overwritten with zeros on multiple occasions is a 7 year old Crucial SSD. I am sorry, I did not know any better. I resolve to throw that darn SSD away next time I do a clean install. When you do that you are filling up every cell with data. Unbeknownst ...

Re: [SOLVED] Repair a Crucial 250GB SSD
My understanding of secure erase of SSD disks (or overwriting whole disk with whatever numbers) is that it uses one program/erase count. Program/erase endurance of SSD disks depends on flash type. Years ago it was said that SLC flash can endure 10000 program/erase operations, MLC 3000 and TLC 1000....

Re: Repair a Crucial 250GB SSD
Thanks for the tips. I have deleted partitions, written zeros, redone partition tables etc. That's a great way to quickly destroy an SSD. what you just did, was to destroy that SSD. get a new one.... you never, ever, write out Zeros to an SSD, only do a quick Format of a blank partition. it is NOT ...

Re: VirtualBox--trying to add raw drive, access denied error
Do you have Guest Additions installed? You need to have that extension for you to be able to share files with the host.

Re: A disgruntled windows user ranting on overly complicated Linux
I have to say that I disagree 100% with the OP's post. I came to Linux with zero background in computers, I just got my first home PC a few years ago and before that I had never been exposed to computers at all. Saying that, I found it very easy to find a download site to download an installation fi...

Re: Looking for more help regarding Live DVD
To the OP, If you were running Windows 10 before, there is no need for any third-party anti-malware or anti-virus software. The built in Windows Defender is all that is needed in Windows 10.

Re: I have a huge problem when booting 19.3 Cinnamon
You do not install Puppy. Puppy never gets installed because it is designed to run from your RAM. You could of course put Puppy on an external SSD, which is highly recommended, but you do not install it on your computer. That is correct &, unless I'm mistaken, it's the same for slitaz. I just r...

Re: I have a huge problem when booting 19.3 Cinnamon
Sorry for the late response, but I do have a CD drive, and I am considering installing puppy Linux but I have found an alternative such as slitaz. By the way, it turns out I was wrong about the model. I am very sorry that I had guessed my model since I didn't have it on me at the time. It's actuall...

Re: I have a huge problem when booting 19.3 Cinnamon
I have an old Thinkpad T42 from 2004 that runs well on Puppy Linux Slacko. If all else fails, you might try that. You can run Puppy from a stick, no need to install it. He would need a modern USB jack to run a Puppy, which yours has. I looked at his specs and his will probably not be able to run a ...

What is your operating system? Be as specific as possible.
