Some new laptops comes along with Linpus Linux operating system. Though this Linux version of the operating system will not have features like Windows, people still choose to buy laptops with Linpus versions.
I’ve faced such problem once and found a simple solution after a lot googling. The Linpus machine would take you to somewhere after the boot that makes you feel casted away. Don’t worry, the process will go smooth and will pick you up from the casted away island.
Restart your computer by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del in Linpus environment.
1. Keep pressing F2 or any other similar button that brings up BIOS options. Look for BOOT tab then boot priority settings and change the first boot priority to ‘DVDRAM’ if you are using OS DVD or ‘Removable Media’ if you are using Bootable USB (If you are doing from Removable media Select Boot type to Legacy).
2. Insert Windows DVD into DVDRAM or plugin Bootable USB to the computer.
3. Save settings and exit (Press F10 then press Yes). The computer will restart and while booting it will ask you to hit any button to boot computer with DVD you have inserted and then press a key within 2 or 3 seconds.
4. Then your computer will be booted into Windows environment. As soon as you see the windows install Screen Press Shift + F10.
Note: Remember that you can boot into Windows environment but the actions on drive or drive partitions will not be considered.
Formatting Linux Partitions with Windows
Formatting options that are available while installing Windows 7 or 8 aren’t helpful at all. You must format the Linux partitioned HDD with Windows command prompt. To do so,
1. Restart the computer into Windows environment again.
2. Wait until the ‘Install Windows’ screen is shown.
3. Press Shift+F10 to bring up the command prompt.
4. Now type the following commands one after another,
5. Type diskpart and hit enter. A new DISKPART prompt will be opened.
6. Type select disk 0 and hit enter. (Disk 0 means disk zero).
7. Type clean and hit enters. This command will clean all the previous formats that are made using different other operating systems.
Close the command prompt window and proceed to the windows installation. Now format, delete or create partitions as per your requirement.
