Title: Ubuntu > Windows 7 PROBLEM
Post by: Conk on November 17, 2011, 10:01:03 pm: Hai der.

I have a Sony Vaio netbook and my hard rive fried up. I bought a new one and put it in, installed JUST Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty Narwhal). I fuc*ing hate this piece of sh*t So I want Windows 7 on it. I have the correct version on a disc and I put it in my external CD Drive because my netbook has no CD drive and it wont boot. I cant find the f*cking BIOS and I think it is set to boot from USB anyway. I want Ubuntu off my netbook by Sunday.

BUT HOW?!

Thanks :)

But, IMO Ubuntu is better than Windows.
Doesn't have gay "NOT RESPONDING" shit as often as Windows does... But I still prefer to use Windows, as I know it more.

Usually F2 or DEL. Then change boot order to USB.

On the bottom...I thought most computers had them...but anyhow:
- Try every F<no.> key until you get one that takes you to the BIOS, then change your boot order :roll:
