Dwarf's Multi-Boot System - Update 2
Today I have wiped XP from my system (was only installed for testing reasons) and gone back to W7 64-bit as I needed to create the USB installation drives. I have now created those for XP/Vista/W7, and have included the most recent drivers for my hardware, which I downloaded from the manufacturer's websites. I have also created an applications USB stick containing things such as Office 2010, Wallpaper and Security software (amongst other things).
It will probably be the weekend before I can do any more as regards the installation, but in the meantime I shall continue to prepare my hardware and software and make sure that everything is ready for I-day.
Today my boss offered to sell me a 20" widescreen monitor for $45....it will be my first experience with a dual-monitor setup.....should be fun! Hopefully in the next few days I'll have it set up. So I'll have a 19" and a 20" widescreen.....gotta love new toys!![]()
Well, I don't have it hooked up yet.....too late at night to make that kind of noise....but it is here....positioning on desk is still to be determined.
I have to clean the desk (as you can see), and the floor off to the right of the tower so I can get back there and decide how to hook it up. I have both DVI and VGA cords , but I don't remember what I have for ports on the back of the tower. I know my current monitor is hooked to a DVI port, and my old one was hooked to a VGA port. I'm not sure if I have two DVI ports back there or not though...if not, I'll have to choose which monitor to hook to DVI and which to VGA.
