Thanks a lot ralplpcr

First, i'm here : I choose Nvidia of course. And then, i have this :
It says it's impossible...

Thank you ralplpcr for your interest. No problem with the scan done, nothing has changed. But i can't change the driver for nvidia even when i go in the Driver manager. I always have this message that i tried to translate between [ ] : "Les paquets suivants ont des dépendances non satisfaites [...

So, i installed Linux Mint Mate 20 on my computer ! :D :D :D What is SOLVED about this : I choose the first choice, something like "install Linux near Vista". And then, i saw that Linux choose by itself to install it on sdb (harddisk2 if a newbie reads me tomorrow. And sda is hard disk 1 i...

Well, in fact, if it exists a step-by-step for computer with two hard disks, it could be perfect for me !

I tried yet to install Linux mint on my computer, but i quitted before ending because i didn't know exactly what to do... As i have two disks and one with nothing, i choose "something else" (i hope it's it in english, "autre chose" in french). ANd then, i have sda with windows an...

So, just now, what is SOLVED on my Asus M70VN with Vista : - I used Torrent to get the ISO of Linux Mint Mate 20. I used oldversions.fr to get the Torrent for Vista. I loaded a very old version (the other ones had a malware in or they didn't run on my computer : the 8.0 Beta [32-bit]. It is enough t...

And now, i'm writing to you from... Linux Mint
Well, it's just a "live" from my usb driver. Next step : loading Linux on my computer.

Thanks all !

Well... Impossible to find the same number when i verify the ISO integrity. I tried several times vith Mate 20 and then with Mate 19. I tried to make the usb drive even if the integrity wasn't verified, and it didn't work. I give up for this day.

EDIT : i solved the problem by using 7-zip. Hello, I need your help. I have downloaded the ISO of Mate 20. I made a directory for it and put it in. I want to verify the integrity. I downloaded the two files sha256... and put them in the ISO directory. I downloaded GNUPG and installed it. I follow th...

Hello Pierre and Ralplpcr,

Yes, sure, i will install Linux on a drive and keep VIsta where it is.

Thank you,

Constance.

Hello ! That's me ! :lol: I work a lot, so i go slowly with my Linux project... 1) I have been in the Bios to see if i can boot with an USB drive. I had put an USB drive (without nothing on it) before starting the computer to see if the Bios sees it. I join 3 pictures... and i wait to see what you s...

The OS on my son' computer is Windows 10.

ANd you're right, it's M70VN. Sorry ! I also have this informations about RAM and it seems difficult for me to change it. I must open the computer. Perhaps it's not impossible but i'm a bit afraid of doing it. But i can do nothing with vista now, so, the reality is that i have no choice. But perhaps...

I found this about my system (in file attachment)

Oh, sorry, you're right, it's M70VN.
The optical drive is broken, it doesn't read nothing anymore .

Thank you GS3. I keep the focus on your explanations, don't worry. I'm sure my computer is a Asus N70VN. I bought it perhaps 13 or 14 years ago... I am putting my disk on a SD card and i yet have 57 Go free on my hard disk. And i haven't finished to clean. So i think i'm gonna try to put Linux and k...

Thanks Moem, i read all this. I didn't see your post before.

Hello GS3, Thank you for your long answer, i feel not alone !! ANd the idea of using another computer could be a good one. My son gets one... I didn't think of that before. My computer is Asus 17 pouce, Model : N70VN (it was good !!), X86, Processeur Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU P8600 @ 2.40GHz, 2401 ...

Thank you, but it is not possible. Rufus2.18 needs Visual Studio. I found Visual Studio for Vista, but it needs a dll i don't have (K32GetModuleInformation) and it seems i need windows XP to get this dll... Boring boring !!
