what the hell? GRUB boots off all HDDs and all partitions therein. i dont know what you were smoking when you wrote that, but ♥♥♥♥ is wrong. im booting loonix off of what is essentially my "D" drive, and XP off my "C" drive. sda1 and sda2 respectively (if my brain is in order).
you should be able to install to a secondary drive fine, but you might need something like GRUB to make the choice, to avoid ♥♥♥♥ about in BIOS.


unless you want to do crazy ♥♥♥♥, i suggest you burn a disk. if you're asking questions like that, you wouldnt understand the steps you'd have to go to to NOT burn a disk. just burn one, they cost what, 3 cents a pop now?
edit: see post above if you want to try it.


ahahah, both of those came to my mind too. i especially love the ME joke.

anyway, you shouldnt be able to sum up an OS in less than a line unless you are just using an opinion. saying "no better OS exists" about XP is just plain wrong. it depends what you want to use the system for.

@exalion: have you actually used a mac for more than an hour? they are amazingly comfy. and if you have anything but some macbooks, they are upgradeable. =.=

Ok, amendment.
You can only boot off your C drive unless you use a bootloader that looks about as hard to install as another OS and is probably out of your league if you're asking if you can boot off your D drive in the first place.

touche. however, grub is pretty easy to set up.
in any case, how does CC run on 7?

The same.

Gotta say, I like it already after installing. Usually I've had to install most drivers manually, but now I was ready to use everything in about 30 minutes. I'll try some Crysis playing now, if dx10 works.

linux is easy to install now, you know.

You can't play many games on linux so I haven't bothered so far.

hey guys is it me or is this thread about ... I don't know WINDOWS 7 and NOT Linux or mac or what is better.... so yeah, please keep on topic....

it still wont let me download this ¬_¬

use IE. use "other", methods. It doesnt matter how you will obtain it it will be always legal.

Linux would be good for a work laptop the games on linux are little coffee break games and theres always congregate for the flash games.

Use a torrent. It's not only more failsafe, but faster than MS's servers.

Amendment: You're completely wrong.
I have Seven running off my E:\ drive which is in fact a completely separate drive. No bootloader, no nothing. I ran the installer from my copy of Windows on C:\, pointed it to my E:\ drive, and it installed.
Yeah, really.
If you don't have a clue, don't act like what you're saying is 100% true.

I bow to your knowledge. Perhaps now would be a good time for me to reinstall Ubuntu.
@Cortex Commander
Disregard my statement, I'm wrong. Jay seems to know what he's about.

I like how my installer setup itself in triple boot with my Vista and XP.
