I would like to get an adapter and 16GB CF card for them. It should provide good boot times for it and IF it has to go to pagefile it would be quick. Is there anything special that I have to do to get this to work? Does it just see the CF card or do I have to do anything crazyt with xp installation. You can find it on ebay. The cheap adapters on eBay generally work just as well as the ones from Adaptec, etc. On my TC, the generic eBay adapter I originally used offered more or less the same performance as the four-times-as-expensive dual-bay Adaptec device I later used.
I would recommend getting a faster CF as opposed to a larger one. I've never actually tested anything slower than x, but even my x CF has pretty crappy random write speeds, which can lead to occasional stuttering.
Thus I'm a bit hesitant on using x, x, etc, drives. I wouldn't recommend doing this on an SD card. CF cards have the added benefit of supporting DMA modes like a standard hard drive, though I'm not completely sure what effects this has on performance. Log in or Sign up. Card reader is available in Bios and is connected through onboard USB connector. Mobo supports Boot from USB.
You may ask.. Just for fun, nothing else! So if anyone knows how to do it Please share your knowledge:nerd:. ApoC1 , Dec 18, I dont think you can, xp restarts the usb controllers a few times throughout installation.
You might be able to install to an HDD and do a drive copy to the compact flash card. But even i used these before and they work fine.

Go ahead and partition the whole disk as your windows partition, and format it to the file system of your choice I prefer FAT Let the installation continue as normal until it reboots. Choose install, and let it boot into its setup. Go through its installation steps until it asks for what drive to put it on. Choose to resize the drive and give the Ubuntu installation about 2. Finish the installation as normal and reboot. Choose the Windows XP option and hit enter.
This should start up the second half of the installation. Let this finish as normal and you have a working install of Windows Why this works or at least my educated guess - The code that checks if windows is being run from a removable device is in the windows bootloader ntldr. Since the Linux bootloader detects other installations on the computer, it will give you the option of starting XP.
When it starts XP, it doesnt run the Windows bootloader code and runs its own code instead. This code doesn't have the check for removable storage. By booting into Linux, you can edit the GRUB configuration file to choose how you want the computer to boot up.
It is possible to install the GRUB bootloader to the computer without installing Linux, but it is very complicated process.
