Otherwise, many of you ask me what I think of this OS ... it's been several months since I use it on my computer in RC version and what I can tell you that it is very stable very fast and certainly less annoying to use than Vista.

In short, although I am a heavy user of Linux, in all objectivity Windows Seven is a good thought that I recommend to all those who drag their XP for years and want change without having to suffer the same boat with Vista. Microsoft has really challenged this version and I think you will not be disappointed if you test ...

I have a laptop, my hard drive into two partitions, one with Windows 7, the other with Ubuntu.
Yesterday I formatted my Ubuntu partition (which really helped me more) to save XP Instead compatibility issue. Except that my XP cd is too scratched, he has planted the setup, but the rub is that he has screwed up my Mbr ...
So I boot the liveCD ubuntu, have re-installed, history of having an OS and a mbr, except that in grub when I chose Windows Longhorn j'atteri to a black screen, and I must reboot ( I think the mbr reminds himself that there had XP, but not booted because it no longer exists.) and nothing allows me to access my Windows 7.

Does anyone have a solution. So that I can deleted my XP MBR, and can choose between Seven and Ubuntu from Grub?

For those who want to make backups of type "directory synchronization, there is a free tool, lightweight and efficient Microsoft (unfortunately only in English) that can create" folders synchronized pairs "that SyncToy is in 32 and 64 bits.
It is very easy to define a number of "pairs of directories" qeu can simply sync => what is changed on one side (on your PC) is postponed to another (on a laptop, external drive, internal, memory stick or any other physical media).

This tool can replace the function "Offline Folders" available in versions and Professional Fundamentals XP / Vista / 7.

Step by step:

1 Create a pair of directories

2 Define the type of synchronization:
* Synchronize = New files and changed files are copied both ways, deletions and name changes are also included in both directions.
* Echo = New files and changed files are copied left to right, deletions and name changes are passed from left to right.
* Contribute = New files and changed files are copied left to right, the renamed files are passed from left to right, but not deletes.

3 Naming the pair created

4 Adjust the settings files

Here you can include or exclude certain file types via the "*". Eg: exclude *. mpg or *. mp3 if you do not want to overload the backup with videos or music
