OK – this blog is titled ‘Simon Hawketts’s Photo Blog’ but I do have other interests and this post (or probably series of posts) is not a photo related post but an IT related post. I bought a new Laptop a month or so ago as a replacement for my aging HP 8710W which was getting a bit long in the tooth. I looked around for a new model which would allow me to try out something I’d wanted to do for a while, which is install OS-X on some standard PC hardware. This would allow me to run my Mac based Photo applications when I’m away from home without having to pay a lot of money for an Apple machine. After a bit of research I ordered an HP probook 4540s which has a hardware spec similar to an apple MacBook and should allow me to install Mountain Lion on it.

I bought this from EBuyer in the UK and got an i5 Ivy-Bridge model with 6G RAM and a 750G hard drive. The supplied Operating System is Windows 7 Pro. First steps I haven’t recent experience of using any version of Windows. The last version I regularly used was Windows 95 and it was so bad I switched to Slackware linux soon after. I’ve been fortunate that every job I’ve had in the last 20 years has allowed me to run Linux in various flavours, so I’ve become pretty familiar with installing distributions from gentoo to ubuntu but I’ve not installed Windows since I regularly used it.

Fortunately it isn’t difficult and an hour or so after receiving the Laptop I had Window 7 running. The first thing I did was try to create a re-install dvd since I knew that I’d need to re partition the disk in order to install OS-X and Linux. The HP utilities which come with this laptop includes a program to burn an installation DVD from the installed OS. This was where my first set of problems started (and reminded me of why I left Windows all those years ago).

The program errored because it needed to burn more than the capacity of the dvd and couldn’t create a second image. I tried using an 8Gb usb flash drive but that failed as well, and then the option to create the install disk disappeared from the program menu. It seems you can only make one copy of the re-install dvd and the program thought I’d successfully done this. I assume that the limit of one disk is to stop people making lots of copies and giving them away, but this sounds a bit brain dead since anyone can copy a dvd, and the Windows software itself is activated to prevent piracy.

Now having Windows installed on the laptop wasn’t actually a big deal for me; I’ll probably never boot into it but I did have to pay for it and there is one situation where it would be necessary to run it. If anything ever goes wrong with the hardware I would only be able to talk to HP about it if i could prove it wasn’t working under Windows. For this reason I contacted HP support, via the built in chat function to see what they could do. I have to say HP were very helpful and after a bit of exchange to prove the laptop model and version of Windows installed, they agreed to send a set of install disks.
