you meant you want to put ubuntu to pendrive and boot from it? yes you can. google 'unetbootin'

i have problem with my compaq CQ 40

Initially i install ubuntu into my laptop as my primary OS
and i format the hdd into form which is other than FAT 32

after fews day,i want to install windows xp in my laptop and uninstall ubuntu
but it seems no way to delete ubuntu from it

when i put the genuine Xp disc,got some errors show on the screen

can somebody help me to uninstall ubuntu and format the HDD in order to boot Xp ??

Can You Teach Me Step By Step??If i uplug my pendrive,will it back to default os??

yes, if you know what you are doing and did not do anything funny .... ie format or repartition your default OS drive.

I can't teach you step by step, too tedious. google and experience yourself; make sure you backup your important data before doing any experiment that you had never done before

what kind of error? a blank?

If u let Ubuntu take ur whole disk during installation, then most likely XP's installer now cannot see the partition & will not find any free space available to install XP.

U probably have to do this:
- Boot to Ubuntu LiveCD (Not your HDD installation)
- Start the Partition Editor. It's under System menu somewhere.
- Delete any ext3 or swap partitions. (If you're not sure & u have no data on the HDD, you can delete all the partitions)
- Apply the changes, shutdown the LiveCD & try to install XP again.

for this, all i can say is user problem..i use both ubuntu n vista..n i never format my vista like u said! r u a careless user? y need format windows?

It's possible with any version of Ubuntu, but only 8.10 onwards have the feature built-in. Earlier versions u had to use 3rd-party tools like Unetbootin.

Added on January 1, 2009, 5:33 pmSounds like your alsa module needs some tweaking.

First u need to know what soundcard ur using.
$ lspci

Look for an 'Audio device', then you can google from there.

I dun understand ur question at all man. Wait wat? & extract wat? Pls explain.

\

Thanks everyone

i found the sound card as below
ATI Technologies Inc RV620 Audio device [Radeon HD 34xx Series]
i tried google but nothing i can gain

what is the next steep ?

the noise,when switching ,is like damaging the speaker

Really want to solve it

Have another look at lspci. Can you find another audio device?
It's possible the card above is not a soundcard.
Some forums say it could be the audio chip in your video card for handling HDMI audio.

ya........there r anonther sound card detected as below

ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA)

Both of them also show as the audio device

the link below which is same situation
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6335530


worry it will give damage to the laptop

Well, looks like support for this chip is a little iffy. You found the answer in the forum, Unloading the module before shutdown 'should' fix it.
This will not be easy though. But this is how to do it.

$ hwinfo --sound

Look for the line that says "Driver Modules", this will tell you which module is being used. On my machine it's "snd_hda_intel" so I'll use this in my example.

$ sudo gedit /etc/init.d/halt

Goto the end of the script. There's a section that looks like this:



Insert a line into it like this: (substitute my module for yours if it's different)



If that still doesn't work. Then I suggest you comment in the bug report & badger them to fix it.
