Step by step teach you how to install meego and Windows 7 dual systems (netbook or notebook)

Install meego and Windows 7 in one step

Step 1: Prepare a USB flash drive. The meego installation file is about 1 GB. We recommend a USB flash drive larger than 2 GB.

Step 2: Clear the disk to free up new space for installing the meego System

In the win7 boot menu, enter "partition" to search for "Create and format Disk Partitions" to start "Disk Manager". You need to create a disk space greater than 30 GB to install the meego system. My Asus netbook has 60 GB space, so it is easier for me.

Step 3: Download meego 1.1 netbook and download the. IMG image file. You cannot directly open or copy it to the USB flash drive.

Step 4: Copy byte streams

You need to use win32diskimager to copy the installation file to the USB flash drive, decompress all the files to any directory, and then start win32diskimager. First, select the. IMG image file downloaded from meego.com, insert the USB flash drive, and select the corresponding drive letter (make sure you have selected the correct drive letter ). Finally, press the "write" button to write the image to your USB flash drive.

Step 5: Start from the USB flash drive
Insert a USB flash drive to restart your computer. your netbook may be different. When I start the Asus netbook, press f2 to enter the bios and set the USB flash drive as the primary disk instead of my hard disk, then, set the USB flash disk to the first boot disk in Boot order. Finally, press F10 to save and release the BIOS.

Now your netbook can be started from a USB flash drive. There are three options after it is started.

Before installing meego, you can also select the "Boot meego" option to check whether the. imgfile copy is successful. This option allows you to preview the meego system, but not install anyProgramOr store any files. Therefore, this is basically a read-only environment.

Step 6: Install meego

Select install and then select the "use free space" option, so that the installer will automatically find free space for installation.

Step 7: edit the default startup options
Like me, Windows will still be the main system, and windows will be started by default. Set in meego, go to Applications> system tools, and then select terminal. This is a DOS environment where you can use the doscommand, such as the Dir command to view the directory list and CD to change the current directory.

Copy the following command to the terminal to allow you to edit the file:

Copy code

1. $ Sudo VI/boot/extlinux. conf

Hotkey command:
Edit-CTRL I
Exit edit mode-ESC
Save-: WQ

Set the default wait time

Copy code

1. Timeout 5

Set windows to start by default

Copy code

1. Label meego
2. Menu label meego (2.6.33.3-11.1-netbook)
3. Kernel vmlinuz-2.6.33.3-11.1-netbook
4. Append Ro root =/dev/sda3 quiet VGA = Current
5. Label other
6. Menu label windows
7. Kernel chain. c32
8. Append boot 1
9. Menu default

In edit mode, Press ESC and enter: Ws to save the changes.

Step 8: Try to start

Unplug the USB flash drive and restart the computer. Note that you need to press Alt + S to call the Start Menu; otherwise, the system will go directly to Windows. In addition, you may also need to edit the bios so that it can be directly started from the hard disk rather than the USB flash disk, but the computer will be able to determine on its own. When the machine starts, press the Alt key instead of waiting until the meego word appears and then press the s key to enter the Start Menu.

Now, your netbook can run both Windows and meego systems.
