You'll notice that the system has no audio at all, but don't worry that this would get solved after install On a side note i was pretty amazed with the capabilities of Gparted it really worked really well.įor Internet access during install you can use the Wireless or the Wired card, you only have to make sure with the wireless that you're connected to the access point. Besides all my effort to repartitioning the drive with a sane scheme without losing the system i was forced at the end to wipe out the system and install Ubuntu alone. Sadly the partitioning scheme was really awful, there was 3 primary partitions (Dell Utility, OS for Vista, Recovery for the Factory Image) and a tiny extended partition for Media Center. Mine had Vista Home Basic and Dell Media Center (Xp embebed). The major issue at install time is the repartitioning of the Dell System. Restart your system and you'll be ready to go.īe sure to apply all of the updates, also it's a good time to enable all the repositories.Īs soon as it's finished you'll want to solve the Wireless and Hard Disk Drive issues. At the end of the automated install you'll be asked for language, keyboard and user data. Also you wouldn't have the chance to adjust your partitioning schema as is by factory default's (I don't like it very much, but it's minded for a general audience so probably is the simplest one).

Take into account that as this ISO is a Reinstallation media, it would WIPE OUT totally your hard drive. With the ENTER option the Live Desktop would not start but an automated install would be held. live would let you start a traditional Ubuntu Live CD and hd would let you start from the Disk Drive.

If you push it back after power off the laptop it seems to solve or restore the previous partition. WARNING: If you push the Windows Media Direct Button after installing the Dell OS Reinstallation DVD you would lost the GRUB start, i'm just looking at this issue so i can provide a workaround. As I've previously used the Inspiron 1420n fixes for my Vostro 1700 ( ) i'm using the 1420n intel x3100 DVD ISO image for the install. Both aproaches seem to work well, if you use the Dell ISO you'd save some time solving the audio issue and the flash player bug ( ), the other problems seem to be there, but as i've said in my previous post these are not showstoppers in any way.Īs Dell kindly provided some OS Reinstallation ISOs for Inspiron 1420n, 530n and the XPS M1330n i've decided to give them a try.
