- Install SSD in Netbook, Install Lubuntu. Simple right?
This is the best example of things going wrong.
There are also a lot of things that could be taken out of context in this video. inb4 edited clips
I'm also noticing I start to mimic the speaking style of whatever youtuber i happen to be watching at the time of making any particular video. If you can tell which youtubers i have been watching while i have been making these... holy crap, it'll be like looking at rings in a tree, i swear.

![How NOT to Install an SSD Into an iPod (2nd Gen) [Part 3]](/img/n.gif)
Here is a little secret about Linux. You can preinstall it on a hard drive and then just put them in the PC you want. It doesn't do hardware detection during install. You can literally put that linux HD into any computer and it will work.
I think Windows 10 can do that. I replaced the motherboard and CPU of one PC and it booted Windows 10 fine from the old installation.
Windows does this too. i changed my entire setup from an EVGA SR-2 mobo (socket 1366, old) to a VIII Hero with a 6700k. Booted from the same install of Windows just fine.
Although, I would not recommend doing this all the time as drivers can conflict/cause errors.
It's not exactly the same. Most Linux distros literally doesn't install any custom drivers during the install process. It comes with a set of generic drivers preinstalled that just work on 90% of hardware.
After installing it, you can optionally install device specific drivers for increased performance, like Nvidia or ATI drivers, but you don't have to. (Unless you have a broadcom wifi chip. Due to legal reasons, broadcom drivers can't be preinstalled.)
***** If it was "completely wrong", Linux Live CDs/USBs would never work.
+- λshton - search linux myth busting. that used to be true but isn't anymore. a youtubed tested it on camera and proved it doesn't work with all distros
This guy can put SSDs in soda machines
lol
LOL!
I once put an SSD into a thermal&humidity test chamber... that was running DOS
Just to make it faster (1 litre of coke per second)
yo dawg i heard you like SSDs so I put an SSD into your SSD, so you can SSD while you SSD (I'll leave now)
Schrödinger's SSD. Both mounted and unmounted at the same time.
This comment should have more likes
its cause linux will utilize any swap partition it finds on bootup, by default. so even though it wasn't installed to the hdd yet, the swap partition was on the hdd so it used that

Why does it say "Designed for Windows XP" when it has a Windows 7 Style key?
Wow ur right
7 used the same logo from XP keyboards.
Technically it also is a windows XP key. Only thing that strays from XP is the circle around the start key. As an example, look here. goo.gl/DnDXcg
A lot of netbooks were released when Vista was nearing the end of its life and 7 was nearing release. That was the key used as the super key on lots of keyboards. XP was installed on these tiny netbooks due to the relative slowness of the atom processors and the limited amount of memory.
I happen to collect and restore keyboards and typewriters from all parts of history, so it's something I just happen to know a lot about.
Windows XP even overlapped Windows 7 a bit on cheap netbooks like that. It took until 2011 for it to be completely replaced by Windows 7 Starter.

I used to have one of these laptops. It was a Christmas gift.
I sat it on the floor, and my sister tipped a chair onto it.
Still thinking of a way to get back at her for that (this was back in like 2010).
When it's her birthday, get her a cake. When she's not looking, throw a chair on the cake.
Just get her Laptop and throw a Chair on it
I'm convinced Druaga has some sort of SSD fetish.

This video was a very chaotic experience. I like it.
Put an SSD in an Xbox and install Windows 2000 on it (If that's possible)
It might be possible, but the result is a very slow OS. You have to use QEMU from a Linux terminal on the Xbox.
If only someone would develop a complete system firmware mod that enables regular BIOS thus exposing the hardware as a true PC.
StrongarmSlayer This is what I want.
Windows 2000 can possibly run on the Xbox, because it has 64 MB of Ram.
tho it could be slow considering the 3 core PowerPC processor. i mean windows at the speed of a pentium 75 could not be the best experience.
People have already ran XP on a Xbox!
Windows 2000 would work fine
so this was my day yesterday:
*gets home from school*
*new Druaga1 video*
*sees its 1 h long*
*grabs Cola*
lets watch it!
I just had a realization that I'm watching a video of one man's journey to install Lubuntu onto a Dell laptop on a Dell laptop that I just recently installed Lubuntu on. Great work.
"USB 1.1" oh god
trizm 6ix 六 Just the floppy drive, because you really don't need more speed for that
i know, but its usb 1.1 loll this computer was made after 1996
trizm 6ix 六 The ports on the computer are most likely USB 2.0, but the floppy drive end (Slave device) only uses USB 1.1, and that's what it's reporting. A floppy drive won't reach higher speeds than 12Mbit/sec, so they didn't bother building in a more expensive USB interface chip with USB 2.0 support
No, I mean in the BIOS it said USB 1.1 port I believe
No, that was the floppy drive's name, like a hard drive is displayed as e.g. "SEAGATE ST0000" (Not a real drive model btw.), so the drive itself said it is USB 1.1, not the BIOS
This guy can probably replace a human brain with an SSD.
On god
I would love to have a SSD for a brain
He already did.
the problem is depending on who you ask the human brain can hold anywhere from hundreds of gigabytes to petabytes, so not without lots of data compression.
i'd love for my memories to be compressed

Try putting Ubuntu on an iBook. It works and it's not that bad. I put it on an iBook G3 and now it's modern.
Lubuntu
A few years ago when I still used a G3 iBook I ended up putting Ubuntu on it to run some newer software. I agree It does actually work pretty well!
I have a Lenovo Thinkpad t340 with Windows 10 and Ubuntu mate 16.04
Cringe meter made me cringe
Says Windows 10 itself.
Windows 8 is worse though.
+Dr. W. D. Gaster recently I've been having far more issues with Windows 10 than I have with Linux, especially with Windows dropping support for older hardware, at work out of 40 PCs Windows 10 only fully supports 4 of them, 20 only have legacy support and the rest aren't supported at all.
I did not need to know that, but okay. I personally no longer have access to a computer (for reasons), but if I were able to run a computer OS on this (unrootable) Android device (without it being really slow), then I would run Linux, probably Debian.
Windows 10 makes me cringe

What is the point of having that Product Key anyway? The key is for the Home Edition of Windows XP, and not the Professional Edition.
.... But many people don't use Windows XP Home, as it does not have support for duel core processors. also, for netbooks, having windows XP pro is better as Pro has better power management software.
Ive installed Kubuntu on my Developer mode blocked school Lenovo N21 Chromebook. Then Installed wine to install java, only to run a cracked version of Minecraft. I love your channel and would love to see you try to do this challenge! BTW: I used TLauncher for the free minecraft(which didn't run too terribly with a USB mouse)
Before mke2fs creates an ext4 filesystem, it TRIMs the entire partition. Perhaps it is crashing because the SATA controller in this model doesn't like the TRIM command.
can you do a network boot please? Id me interested knowing how to that.
Start a PXE server and done. Be sure to have a pc with gigabit ethernet and a decent cpu
Man, you and your SSD's. I can't even afford an SSD let along a basic HDD. I'm rocking the 160GB Seagate and an 80GB Toshiba Apple HDD from a MacBook. I'm dying to get a 500GB or at least a 250GB HDD.
Can you now afford a SSD? They're pretty cheap now!
I was sitting there, screaming "that's an extended partition! You don't unmount extended partitions, let alone swaps!"
An extended partition contains more partitions inside it. In this case, you had a Linux Swap partition inside it which was "mounted." To "unmount" a swap, you use "swapoff /dev/whatever"
Since the swap was on and the swap was contained in the extended partition, you couldn't delete it. :(
I can relate, I have done this before on another netbook. This is a glorious tribute to the unsung heroes of geekdom. I salute you sir!
9:40-9:55 best thing ever
Install an SSD in your iMac G3.

Yeah that netbook definitely has something wrong with it, and even if it worked it would be less useful than a cheap android tablet for youtube and light web browsing.
You can try putting ChromiumOS or CloudReady on it though, it would be interesting to see how well they'll run on it.
+Druaga1 , The reason Lubuntu mounted those "2" (really 1) partitions is because Ubuntu by default mounts a swap partition if it can find one. It's basically your virtual memory and space for hibernation and suspend. Just unmount 'em in gparted.
Damn I love your videos... I can't explain why I'm watching a 1 hour video of install problems... but I love it.
I have not finished the video yet BUT an SSD (yes "an") will give great performances improvement even on SATA 1, not because of the bandwidth but because of the latency
(around 15ms for a regular hard drive, around 0.1ms for a regular SSD : yeah 150 times faster
a SSD is not 150 times faster
In terms of access times... yes they are
Search on google some access time benchmarks comparing SSDs and HDDs, you'll be surprised
Nicnl Like for "an".
+Druaga1 you shouldve instaled android on the netbook. Or chrome OS. those two operating systems can run on computers even slower then your netbook. ive done it before with computers with 1ghz processors and computers with 512 mb of ram including ssd's and runs lightning fast.
Android x86:
www.android-x86.org/
Chrome OS
www.chromium.org/chromium-os
Android x86 is alot more feature packed, while with chrome os it just contains the chrome browser. Id prefer you do android x86, but if your just looking to brose the web you can try chrome os, although it may be a boring video to try chromeos.
Both are just Android, so you're limited to Android apps, which are simply bot made for non-touch input devices
joshua ooroth cloud ready is a better version of chrome os for old computers.
joshua ooroth you used Chrome-whatever on a single core Atom. Then how come you found time to write this? Chrome's so freaking slow on these it'd take half an hour to write a couple phrases with two points!
This is beautiful madness! ;)
Just stumbled upon your channel. I cried so hard from laughing. Thank you.
My relatively new acer aspire v15 nitro also has to have the motherboard removed to upgrade the ram, or install an m.2 ssd.... Also to access the motherboard I have to remove the keyboard because access is from the top instead of the bottom. Pretty annoying overal soo yeah... Pretty sure there are worse laptops to service :P
Clamshell iBook? :)
Haha I wouldn't know, never owned a PowerPC powered Mac :p
Heh, just watch 8-Bit Guy's video on how to replace a single harddrive in an iBook. That's some screwed up shart! ;P
Yep mine broke and i just binned it and went fuck it its to hard
they're pretty fun, actually. I recently got a 1GHz TiBook, with no charger. I think it works.

that beep was timed perfectly with my phone vibrating
I was given an ancient 2007ish Fujitsu laptop with XP on it a while ago. Maxed the RAM (2 whole gigabytes) even upgraded the CPU to the fastest it'd run (Pentium dual core something). Of course, I added an SSD. Several distro's of Linux later I was thoroughly depressed with how crap the thing ran, and how impossible it was to get all the hardware to actually work. Eventually I gave it a spare Windows 7 key and got the free 10 upgrade and now it runs perfect all the hardware etc etc. It's even sort of fast-ish.
Helped a friend out getting her XP era netbook running again. All she wanted was something running iTunes to sort some crap out on her iPhone. Cheap Windows 10 key and the thing works fine, in fact faster than XP was. Didn't put an SSD in it even though I'd have liked to. She didn't want to spend any more money than necessary on it, which was fair enough.
Linux I'm sure is great, but I guess you really have to persevere with it to get the best (or indeed anything) out of it.
after all years of installing and reinstaling all kind of flavors, actually i can say, if you gonna play games on linux, please, pleeeeeease, install the drivers because if you don't, you gonna think linux is crap and reinstall again.
gerard s Yup. That'a whats bothering me the most at Linux related videos. They never put even a bit more effort in it than running through the installer, and say it's crap -_-
@@resneptacle Because it is. Thoroughly installed EndeavourOS a year ago, after trying some other distros and not liking them. Drivers installed, everything good to go, right? No. Some crucial games didn't work. Those that did ran worse than on Windows with the exception of Minecraft Java - but now that I have a Radeon card it runs as well as it did on Linux. Some crucial programs didn't work, which was the dealbreaker. SSD trimming not on by default (what the fuck even?). Automounting not a thing. Very arbitrary workarounds required for the simplest thing. Community is godawful, uncooperative, and elitist no matter where I went - Discord, forums, Matrix, etc., no matter, they were all the same.
So I went back to Windows 11, and I continue to be the happiest I've ever been with a desktop OS. Loonix HAS A LONG WAY TO GO in both the community & compatibility standpoints, before it becomes a viable desktop OS.
a gig of ram? theres your problem linux needs four gigs MINIMUM to use a DE
Me too i ran LXDE on 784 MB ram pendium 3 ibm thinkpad just a coupple years ago but i will NOT go back lop
HAHA browsing on less than a gig of ram thats just not happening chrome itself takes up half of that and facebook takes up twice that with the modern system of "webapps" thats just not going to happen

I recommend a Thinkpad X220 for this kind of thing. They are cheap and readily available on Ebay (Plus they have doors for both RAM sticks and Drives). Not to mention, it has an excellent keyboard
When you say "Before we violate this with our SSDness", that makes me laugh.
This is one of my favourite Druaga1 videos!! Its funny.
By far this episode of Druaga1 is more hilarious in the beginning than all of SMG4's bloopers.
The general rule is to add double the swap space for the amount of RAM that you have. In my case I upgraded my two old netbooks from 1 gig of RAM to 2 gigs of RAM and I made a 4 gig swap partition of swap space on each netbook. So if you still own your netbook add one more gig of RAM and create a 4 gig swap partition. It should run faster.. Fast enough to run Supertux which is a super game along with Supertux Kart.. 😀👍 Keep the awesome videos coming (^_-)/
friendly tip. You can button mash the f keys starting right after you hit the power button. its actually what dell and HP tech support have you do.
Also, maybe next time try Linux Mint?
youtube and facebook are the bane of the pre 2006, all atom and celeron machines
Simos Katsiaris Not really, TH-cam works okay with Firefox on Arch Linux+Openbox on Intel Celeron 900MHz x1 and a Gig of Ram. And if you use smtube and mplayer, there are no laggs or stutters whatsoever
JonasLue that is an i7 extreme compared to atom, I'm talking any the entry level, atom based Celeron, now called pentium, not the core based

32:17 XD
Ohhh nOoOoOoOo!
I think all you need to do is reinstall the SSD into a surrogate computer, completely wipe and reformat it, reinstall Lubuntu, then reinstall the SSD into the netbook and the crashing issue should be resolved.
Honestly, when you tried to cancel the installation part way through I cringed, but most of your other stuff was pretty logical and good thinking. Generally you'll be fine moving an SSD with an installation of Linux from one computer to another, even if it isn't optimized for that other computer, unless of course you're mixing CPU architectures (although x86 vs 64bit will likely cause issues, especially if you install 64-bit and try to transfer it to a 32-bit system)
this would be awesome as a terminal-only machine.
That netbook is cursed forever for running Windows XP only.
Druaga be prankin even before April 1st

I have a HP Mini 110-3100 with the same Intel Atom processor, 1 GB RAM, 250 GB HDD and Windows XP Professional SP3. It runs pretty fine up until now (5 years on going), i'm starting to notice wear-and-tear though. I do browsing on it and **gasp** play games with it! (HL, CS, GTA:VC, GTA:SA (incredibly reduced GTA SA), RA2YR, Manhunt, etc.) and it runs suboptimally but bearable. I still use it up until now.
ProTip: usually you can hold down the key to enter BIOS or UEFI before the computer is on, so you really don't need reaction time. except for when to stop pressing the key
Now, that's a Druaga1 video.
If you connect it to the internet, you should do it in the beginning of the installation because you can choose to install updates to
Reminds me of all the crud I tried to do with my MSI netbook. I've tried XP, Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Android x86, and now it's running Windows 10. I even tried it with an SSD at one point. I haven't found anything I can really do with it currently, but it works pretty well compared to this video. :)
Never had so much issues installing Linux on a computer. Explains why some have a bad experience when they try installing it.
But when it's installed it's worth it (if you ask me).
SATA 1 still gives you a HUGE speed boost with an SSD vs. HDD, i'm currently on a laptop with SATA 1 and it's nice and fast with an SSD.
Is there something I am missing when he freaks at 9:40 or so? He is just looking at the hard drive.... I must be missing something...
There's a sticker that says "For rectal use only".
"For rectal use only". As in rectum.
+alecjahn as IN a rectum
So there was a sticker that says "For Rectal Use ONLY" usually those stickers only pop up on medicines for your digestive system where you stick it up your ass, but apparently it was labeled on this good ol hard drive. Maybe that's what took him 40 minutes...
The Mini 9 already uses an SSD, just good luck getting it at a sizable capacity
The horrible graphics performance is due to the GMA500 graphics chip, which Intel licensed from PowerVR, so they couldn't release source code that allowed the development of decent drivers for Linux.
I did this with mine, and then replaced it with a Dell Latitude e6320, SSD, and Xubuntu Linux. Worked great.
Am I the only one who noticed that Druaga has a shit ton of desktop PCs behind him?I figured that out because of the reflective screen.
I just LOVE these kind of vids!
Huh, for rectal use only.
No wonder the laptop went all fucky wucky.

SuperTux ran terribly because these Atom Z-series chips have a special snowflake GPU that, as of today, still has no acceleration of any kind under Linux.
RichardG867 PowerVR I think. And they refuse to release any code to support them on Linux. (even MS is giving up on them, they wont be support in future updates to Win 10)

Hey Druaga, just a heads up: I've had a similar experience with Ubuntu freezing after leaving it idle for a few minutes. I figured out it was an issue with the way Linux handles power management for SATA devices. Fortunately it's quite simple to fix, and it doesn't require disabling the power management. All I had to do was update the firmware on the SSD, and once I reinstalled Ubuntu, it stopped giving me problems. This assumes that the firmware shipped on that SSD is not the latest available. Now whether that will fix the issue with formatting, I'm not sure. Nonetheless I would consider giving it a try. 😁
Great idea, lad. I also did that solid state drive upgrade to my Windows 7 netbook with 2GB memory.
