wait

#

dont get that nero

turbid pike
#

Ok

fierce estuary
#

same as what Maniak said. see features link i just sent

turbid pike
#

Ok

fierce estuary
#

"create bootable discs" is listed

#

i knew mid-2000s nero express used to but idk now so use cdburnerxp

turbid pike
#

Ok

fierce estuary
#

just make sure to use the right option

#

for iso, not as "data"

#

an ISO is a international standards DISK IMAGE

turbid pike
#

Ok

#

Open the program and send screenshots ) should be fairly easy though

turbid pike
#

Yea I'll do that later
Thx a lot

#

Download means getting a file from the internet or from a camera to another computer

Installing with dvd

Installing using dvd

#

Install means putting a program/OS into permanent commission

turbid pike
#

Ok

fierce estuary
#

turbid pike
#

k

fierce estuary
#

just to be absolutely sure it wrote with no missed-bits/ errors.

#

will take an extra 15 minutes i think, but better than 1 hour of going crazy

turbid pike
#

true, true

#

and anything else like speed?

fierce estuary
#

should be fine the defaults

turbid pike
#

k

#

it burning now

#

thanks a lot

turbid pike
#

:]

#

and now i just do it like all other methods right?

fierce estuary
#

right on

#

if ur pc is made in last 10 years, make sure to press BOOT MENU key, and choose UEFI CD/DVD to boot

#

not plain one

#

@turbid pike

turbid pike
#

Huh

#

I just restarted my laptop and now

fierce estuary
#

i think from cd, take about 10 minutes to boot to a deskktop. then u can play around and test it very well, LIVE

turbid pike
#

I just had the CD in and restarted the laptop
Then it said something about "unclean file" 9r something

fierce estuary
#

ur boot menu key should be shown to u when u power-on. look close at bottom of screen

turbid pike
#

K

fierce estuary
#

eg: "press F9 for boot options"

#

if it ONLY shows "Press xx to enter Setup/BIOS" then i guess do that and show a photo of bios in the boot options section

turbid pike
#

And it's frozen like this

fierce estuary
#

that's legacy screen

#

is this pc from pre-2012?

turbid pike
#

Idk
Looking here it said that the laptop came with windows 7
And an intel core i5
Idk how old the laptop is so uh if that helps

fierce estuary
#

give it time anyway. it always appears frozen after that timer counts down

turbid pike
fierce estuary
#

ignore

#

just watch dvd drive light n wait 10 minutes

turbid pike
#

I can see the wallpaper :o

#

Mouse

#

IT'S DONE

fierce estuary
#

when you reach desktop, open terminal, and maximize it. then u can send some info on the system and I can offer recommendations.

turbid pike
#

Ok now I can try it

turbid pike
fierce estuary
#

type inxi -F in maximized terminal, and show clear picture.

#

scroll to top of results if it doesnt fit in one screen

#

and show two photos of full result, IF needed

turbid pike
fierce estuary
#

first generation core i5 . this is agood CPU

#

bios date shown.

turbid pike
fierce estuary
#

and you have 8 GB RAM. way plenty. even 4 wold be fine for this

#

go to Keyboard (search in start menu)

#

and go to its settings module, and third tab. u can change language layout

#

or model i think

#

or go to regional in System Settings

#

because for me, z is what is physically near bottom, above left Alt

turbid pike
#

K

#

I'mma install it now

fierce estuary
#

if u install, after you are done playing around, just use a few numbers (digits) from numeric row as your password

#

and dont make it too hard.

turbid pike
#

K

fierce estuary
#

u should test sound n connectivity first

turbid pike
turbid pike
fierce estuary
#

yes but use digits in case stupid letters/ keyboard mismatch screws you

turbid pike
#

K

fierce estuary
#

the installer asks you to pick region and keyboard layout anyway and I believe it offers a TEST AREA to test letters

turbid pike
#

Ye

fierce estuary
#

I just remembered something important

#

what are you doing right now?

#
