Triple Boot on a Mini 10v - OS X, Windows 7, Ubuntu Netbook Remix - Part 1/4

[dood646]

Please help, whenver i try to boot my mini 10v with a flashdrive containing any kind of program, it freezes on the Dell, blue loading bar screen with F2 and F10 options. I tried it on my friend's computer too, and it did the same thing. How do I fix this?

If Windows and Ubuntu already installed, do this

1. Back up files from Ubuntu HD

2. Remove Partition for Ubuntu HD

3. Make a new partition for OSX

4. Install OS X

4. Make another partition for Ubuntu

4. Install Ubuntu to get GRUB

[mariomj71099]

If Windows is Installed first, do this 1. Partition your Hard disk using EASEUS Partition Master Home (its free!) 2. Install OS X 3. Install Ubuntu to get GRUB Bootloader If Ubuntu is installed first, do this 1. Back up your data to external device(s) 2. Format Hard Drive 3. Install OSX 4. Partition Hard Drive with OSX's feature Disk Utility 5. Install Windows 6. Partiton Hard Disk again with EASEUS (another partition is for Ubuntu) 7. Reinstall Ubuntu to get GRUB bootloader

I have XP on my Dell Mini 10v. I was wondering if I'd have to reinstall XP again if I was to do this.

awesome guide!

[GiiMmELuB]

great vids! you mention that the 10v was made available with 2 different screen resolutions... i might be buying one used, if the seller is unaware, how could i make sure i'm getting the 1024x600? were the newer resolution screens made after a certain date?

You are awesome--I am now tri-booting thanks to you! Great tutorial.

I just got my Dell Mini 10v born with Win 7 Starter. It's quite slow to work in - can someone tell me if installing Ubuntu or OS X makes it faster? And if so which one of those is fastest? THANKS!!

[anguish79]

Well, 7 runs pretty smoothly to begin with, at least in my opinion. Both Ubuntu and OS X run pretty well too. Just remember you're not dealing with a powerhouse of a computer. There will, unfortunately, be slowdowns. And, it also depends really on what you're trying to do. The RAM was a big deal for me, not so much because it would make it faster, but because it was easier to have more applications running, which I frequently have a lot of open.

@anguish79 how did you put the mac on the usb flash drive

[mrdavidpatrickcase]

i have windwos 7 ultimate w/dual boot UNR on it already. do i ahve to do clean install from osX first?

and i cant see or tell waht your doing in the disk partition in osX

good video hope it can help/work for me :)

[anguish79]

Most likely you would. I know I have always done that when doing a triple boot, but then again, to me it's just easier.

[jedimaster0103]

Ghetto drive, lol.

[zsimi80]

how can i use NetbookBootMaker with win7? i cant create os x bootable flash drive with it

[ColdRoses27]

can anyone recommend a new pc laptop that can run fcp good on it?i just dont have the money for a macbook at the moment.thanks

[anguish79]

Sorry, not too familiar with anything beyond the Dell Mini's for hackintoshing.

[xxthunderbird46xx]

thank you for this :)

[Kylegeek]

you should try to become a partner! you rock!

[ColdRoses27]

do you think final cut studio would run ok on it? i would like too have a cheap video editing mac/pc like that.

[anguish79]

Having never used Final Cut Studio, I honestly don't know. My gut would tell me that you wouldn't want to render any videos though because of potential cooling issues. It might work, but probably not worth the effort.

[JBLanteigne]

Forget FCP on netbooks man.

1) the screen is too small

2) cpu is too slow

3) hdd will probably be too slow as well.. and you'd need more ram as well.

[anguish79]

Thanks for the feedback on that! FCP is something I have no experience with at all.

[JBLanteigne]

You're welcome..

I wouldn't use final cut pro on anything below a strong dual core, 2gb of ram, 256mb video card and hdd that runs at 7200 and screen resolution of 1440x900 That would be the bare minimum for mini dv tape... I'd recommend quad core, 4 to 8gb of ram and two screens with 1920 x 1200!
