    Default How to Install OS in a non USB bootable and no cdrom old laptop


    Hello good evening sa tanan.

    Mangayo unta ko advice ug unsaon nako install OS sa ako old laptop na Toshiba Satellite Pro A40
    daan nani na gadaot2 iyang cd rom nya, navirusan man so ireformat unta nako but dili najud mobasa ang cd rom.

    karaan ni siya na laptop so wala siyay USB boot, ang iya rang choices kay network ug cd rom. as much as possible dili unta ko ganahan mopalit ug bag-o na cd rom.

    Hoping naay maka hatag ug advice nako.

    Daghang salamat

    mao ni siya ang link sa laptop thanks

    since dli ka kaboot USB then there is a possiblity dli pud ka kaboot ug USB CD ROM. Why not remove the Hard Drive and place it in an Enclosure then format it using a PC. Then set that hard drive as a main hard drive in the PC then install an OS or linux operating system.

    you can try network installation. you will need another computer for this and a bit prostrating. you Google for instruction.

    another way would be to make your hard drive bootable and then you copy the installation files there and your good to go.

    modagan pa imu windows bisan na-virus? dili dauton sa virus ang *.exe files? usa lang ka partition? ka-internet pa? -- pwede cguro nimu installan ug linux -- i-shrink lang ang windows partition tapos install linux sa bakante nga space (dual boot, kay kung windows lang gihapon, mabayrus napod unya hehehe)

    tingalig ma-modify nimu ni nga tutorial:
    Installing Ubuntu Or Fedora From A Windows Or Linux System With UNetbootin - Page 4 | HowtoForge - Linux Howtos and Tutorials

    tapos ngita lang ug unetbootin nga para sa laing linux aside from fedora -- maybe for light distros like tinyme
