P7-1245: can I install ubuntu and should I erase my entire hard drive
Hey guys I want to install ubuntu on my HP P7-1254 I can do and also do I completely erase my hard drive and all partitions, including the (SYSTEM) with DBAN or which would break my hard drive thanks
Break anything using a boot disk to format and erase your hard drive. It's just the hard disk as if it came from the factory with no OS on it.
As a suggestion, make a disk image of your drive hard if you want to return to Windows, if you don't like Ubundu to an external hard drive. It gives an accurate picture of what you did not understand the OS, programs and data. Use Macrium Reflect Freeware. Only, don't forget to create the rescue disk to restore.

I bought a new computer, installed LR5 and import photos from a remote hard drive. Photos is finer, but all my Collections disappeared. Is there a way to retrieve my Collections?
The Collections are stored in the LR catalog. If you had previously copied to your catalog on the other computer to the new all your collections would have been there.
Now that you have the images on the new computer, 'IF', they were placed in the same folder structure (IE even the folder names and locations) then copy through the original catalogue "should" include your collections. If they are in the names of different folder or on a different drive letter or name of the player, then you might be able to use the feature to locate Images to find them.

It is always sensible in this situation to achieve a malware check
Start the computer in safe mode with network and download and install Malwarebytes (free version for individuals only), updated definitions and run in safe mode. Disable other security software while you do the analyses.

Can I install Ubuntu in the U940-sp4103gl Satellite SSD?
Please help me as soon as possible.
Here are my questions:
Can I install ubuntu in the ssd from Toshiba u940-sp4103gl?How to do this?
It's urgent, I will appreciate any help. Thanks in advance.
I put t see no reason why you shouldn't be able to install Linux.
You would need to make some change in the BIOS of the U940 satellite.
(1) disable secure boot
(2) pass the CSM UEFINow all that, you should be able to boot from the disk or USB memory stick.

MacBook Pro (retina, 15 inches, beginning 2013) El Capitan 10.11.3, Simple question here: I can't open FinalCut Express (4, I believe). The wheel turns for hours. How can I install/uninstall and will I lose all my old films (for the most part stored on external hard drives). Thanks for your suggestions.
You will not lose anything, but the app if you uninstall. If you decide to uninstall use this app to make sure that all the other files which depends on FCE are also deleted however I can't give you any assurance as to whether you will be able to reinstall so that it works correctly. It is a software that has not been supported for almost 5 years and there are conflicting reports as to its compatibility with OS X 10.11. Can't I test it myself.
Maybe someone else will chime in with their own experiences.

My daughter's office got fried during the last storm, even though she had a surge protector. Obviously the power company line was bad. The pc seems to have gone to a previous set point during the boot, but now she can not install software and doesn't seem to have Norton AV more. When she tries to run a system restore it gets "extended attributes are incompatible."..: thank you for your help. Debbie
