Bulovski Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 Make a partition. Copy the XP setup files there through Ubuntu. Then run it. The DVD drive won't be detected unless the drivers are present. External DVD drive means USB based. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somebody Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 (edited) Make a partition. Copy the XP setup files there through Ubuntu. Then run it. The DVD drive won't be detected unless the drivers are present. External DVD drive means USB based. ok... sounds like a nice idea but should i just copy and past the files in the CD into the newly formed partition and then restart the PC ? Â and btw, the boot menu gives only Notebook Harddrive, Network boot, USB storage. Even after i do this, if i select hdd then it'll load ubuntu first na ? Â @athek: i tried that already. It wasn't working. The installation started and it said copying files to hdd and the copying process of each file started. After a while, it comes to 'Copying NTLDR' then the bar just clears off and it stays like that for as long as i leave it on. It just keeps searching for that file. I searched in my USB and the ntldr thing was present. dunno why it aint detecting it. I tried it another 2 times and same result. When i restart the computer after this, it just says 'Couldn't find ntldr' and then jumps to dos. Edited March 31, 2009 by pra2veen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harsahil Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 (edited) pls help....ok i got a Frontech amp for my PC which i use for my PS3 as well. the problem is that it doesnt have headphones input and i want to connect my headphones to it. the speakers are connected to the amp via normal RCA output. is there any converter available which can convert RCA output into an headphone input? i mean sth that has male RCA leads(red and white) and a female headphone input hole.

Â but i have seen them ready made in lots of local shops.... exactly i was thinking of making one myself... i thought of connecting my headphones directly to RCA plugs after taking out the headphone 3.5 jack and connecting the wires to RCA plugs but i dont have any headphones to waste otherwise i would have done it.
