dragon54u Hatley is asking how to deal with a person that looks at everything in a negative light. She has to have meals with this person every day so it is very important to learn to deal with that person. Someone reading the replies to this discussion will probably...

lowloy In the past twenty years I have not moved anywhere. Before this I was in the military, so I had to move a little mandatory of couse. I have helped people move which I do not like to do, because of all of the waiting that is involved. I really like it where I...

Yep, I'm moving yet again ... When I was a child we moved around a lot. And I guess I'm still at it as an adult. I've only lived where I am for about 15 months, and now will be moving again in 2 weeks. This time I will...

maximax8 Hi Rachel. It sounds like you are moving to a lovely and spacious home. I hope that your move to your new residence will go very smoothly. I bought my little cottage in 1991 when I was 19 years old. I sold it in 2005 and moved to the house I live in now. I am...

MysD Many users come back after a long absence and have forgotten. I suggest you check the Guidelines too because there just might be something new that you are not aware of there too. Happy Lotting!

MysD It is stated in the TermsofUse that if you do not log in for three months/90 days your earnings will be set to zero. I can only guess that happened. Welcome back!

spectrum42 The only reason I can think of NOT to set up a dual boot machine is if you have very limited disk space. If you have the hard drive space, go ahead and do the dual boot. Still, make sure you back up your stuff before you set up Linux because there's a chance...

Koalemos I would suggest that dual booting would be more practical than a direct switch to Linux. Since you have no doubt been using Windows for a long while then you will be far more familiar with it, so it is worth keeping. Linux is quite user friendly now and a...

Dominicc2003 I have the PERFECT solution for you :-) Go to http://wubi-installer.org/ Download it and follow the instructions. I think it'll ask you to let it download ubuntu for you. It may seem a bit frustrating since you have the disk but trust me, Wubi makes it so...

suprema Go on, dual-boot. In my laptop I dual-boot XP and Ubuntu and it has no problems. The only reason I can't think of why NOT to dual-boot is both installations will take up more space in your hard disk. But that isn't really a problem, no?

Koalemos Yes, Linux will read any Windows formatted drive. It is the other way around were the problem exists with Windows not reading Linux formatted drives. I am not sure whether Vista would be able to read Linux formats, but Windows XP certainly will not.

Koalemos If you are using a single drive then your suggestion of a seperate partition for storage is good because this will save duplicating such files as images or music etcetera. However, remember to use FAT32 or NTFS when formatting the partition because Windows XP...
