Hello everyone, I am new to the forum and to Ubuntu, but have been playing for a little while.
I am trying to install unr on my photoframe built from an old laptop. (mainly due to the fact that windows keeps corrupting itself on unexpected power down)
I find that I cannot do this on the laptop for a couple of reasons that I am still investigating but the main one is that I get a blank screen for the install so cannot see what is going on.
My question is
How can I install unr onto the photoframes hdd whilst it is connected to my windows laptop via a usb adaptor without changing the laptop in any way. I can then reinstall the hdd into the photoframe.
The photoframe mobo does not support usb boot otherwise that would have been my preferred route
Hopefully I have been the first to ask this, but if not a gentle pointer to a previous thread would be welcome.
Many thanks
David
