Thread: Deleting the ubuntu

-

i know ubuntu better xp play lot of game , cant play game in ubuntu.
have tried install xp again. deleted partition includes ubuntu. looked worked @ second boot xp didnt start graphich installer.
there 8 mb free space on disk , when make new partition makes 8 mb free space.
have important data in other partition , cant delete it.
how can install xp again ?

capsaicin,

dont want lose important data need treat drive storage disk. not know enough partitions understand causing problem if ever 're-installed' ready go os (rtg os) same sort of approach adapted.

need: disk, sata cable or ide cable & jumpers. suggested item book such eye of world robert jordan.

1. remove current experimental disk (dual boot) motherboard
2. attach new disk motherboard
3. install rtg os onto new disk.
4. boot rtg os make sure working shut down.
5. attach storage disk secondary disk motherboard or via ide cable.
i. if have sata not going have many problems
ii. 0x0.if using ide cables may need set jumpers xp disk master , dual boot slave. if needs can once have installed xp, if system doesn't start need set jumpers default, before attempt '5' note begin when working primary disk attached (by drawing on piece of paper!)
ii. 0x1. in extreme circumstances may need set boot priority in bios woks along side master slave jumper thing. have noted disk names down when in disk manager xfs-yu87ay7

6. once have booted rtg os disk , can see secondary disk in rtg os file system pc folder, should dual boot , remember because boots doesn't mean see disk, try jumpers again!
7. grab data storage disk onto xp disk.

have primary disk rtg os , important data on it.
, secondary 'experimental' disk.

can either format secondary disk ntfs , backup important data
, try again dual boot on primary disk. or maybe create dual boot 2 disks installing linux on secondary disk , keep primary storage.

whatever keep important data out of way of experimental os situations , remain happy wizard.

hope helps , experiencing dual boot dilemmas

i have id (primary key) set bigint in sql server. have query following: where whateverid = <cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_integer" value="#url.id#"> i got invalid data type it. tried: where whateverid = <cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_bigint" value="#url.id#"> i still got invalid data type it. tried: where whateverid = <cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_int" value="#url.id#"> and worked. the weird thing cf_sql_int not listed being accepted: http://www.adobe.com/livedocs/coldfusion/5.0/cfml_reference/tags79.htm can explain me. > whateverid = <cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_bigint" value="#url.id#"> what value of #url.id#? had no problems either using cf8. > weird thing cf_sql_int not listed being accepted: iirc, when pass in invalid sql type cf uses default: cf_sql_char, accepts anything. ms sql implicit convert() right type , why works.
