Ok, let;s start as this for me are basic problems at the moment:

I want to chance from Windows 8.1 to a Linux system.

Questions:

Can I keep Windows 8.1 when changing to Linux?

How will I do that change?

Do I have to delete Windows 8.1 or what do I have to do?

My BIOS is Thoshiba. Do I have to change that or what do I have to do?

Which one of the many Linux systems could be a good choice for me?

why I am changing my hardware so often

sometime people may complain why I am changing my hardware parts

hard disk , SMPS (power supply) , mother board , Ram etc very often.

but my neighbours system is very well .

who is the culprit, If children present in their family they will be in trouble,

because they will playing most of the time using computer.(We may blame them since they are using it.. that's the reason computer is giving trouble always)

but they are not the culprit.

Have anybody checked for "Earth" using Electric Tester

user level /preliminary measures/ preventive maintenance --- ( completely
read and take action.)



when the system/pc is switched on take a tester and go to the rear side of the pc where there is metal part and touch with the tester, if the tester light glows your pc is not properly earthed. (don't touch the painted metal it's of no use). don't grab the pc (may get small shock if it's not earthed), instead,try to move the computer table and go to the rear end.

when there is no proper earthing it will damage all your pc parts gradually.
which results in frequence data corrupt, hardware failures.

for earthing part pls contact good electrician.

note:- pls don't play the electircian role. (even you know how to google )

(possible cause for earthing --- the earth wire not connected in the socket)

Dan bhai there is some of the solutions which I remeber

1. without disturbing your current system without making any changes.

knoppix is the solution.

one can boot linux just from a cd.


(first time I booted the system using knoppix in HP PAVILION showroom few years ago, that time I used CD. The showrooom owner terrified what I done to his PC. when I rebooted the system and removed knoppix cd it was a regular HP again with windows)


2.apart from windows, one can make separate partition for linux ---permanent for linux which windows can't access

while installing we can make a boot disk previously I used floppy boot and write to cd. (now-a-days it should be straight to cd/dvd/usb) --don't install boot loader in this method.

so whenever we want boot go to bios option change to particular booting device for linux . now-a-days we can select function keys to change boot order.

(options 1 & 2 are quiet safe methods)

3.Since already u have win8.1 , make a separate partition for linux ( either u can leave unused HDD parttion or use partion tool to resize and make one) now the most used linux flavour are ubuntu,redhat.., boot with linux dvd choose the particular partion while installing choose the bootloader option so that while booting linux boot loader give choice between linux and windows

also refer here --- http://apcmag.com/how-to-dual-boot-windows-8-and-linux.htm


4. if u don't want win8.1 very easy go for fresh installation of linux , while installation u need to format/partition the hard disk.

5. one advance step If you able to afford to buy one more laptop hdd.
just remove laptop existing hdd which has win8.1 put new hdd and install linux. for this step u need to unscrew laptop bay ( if u r laptop under warranty pls don't do that) this method for only hardware guys only.

my suggestions,

Dan bhai use knoppix that will be safe for laptop (if you are using lap top most of the time for your current work).

may be u can test linux distros/flavours with a spare pc.


pls note:- take back up if you going to make any change in you pc.

experiment with spare pc or laptop will be always better.

Don't experiment current working system unless you are on work leave/vacation for few days. :thumb:
