I followed your instruction, but I can’t boot ubuntu by pressing the media direct. It just loads windows 7.

I have a dell xps m1530.
My partitions are:
OEM Partition ( /dev/sda1)
System Partition( /dev/sda2)
Linux Root Partition( /dev/sda3)
Swap Partition (/dev/sda4)

After installing ubuntu (with the bootloader located at sda3) the pc restarts and boots in windows. There I inserted the Dell Media Direct CD and runned rmbr (as administrator):
cd\
e: (because my dvd-drive is e: and not d:)
cd dellkit
rmbr DELL 2 3

Shut down the pc and tried to boot ubuntu.
But my laptop just boot window 7.

What’s the problem??? Do you know any solution??

Thanks in avance,
Pigmaster

You will want to follow the tutorial if you plan to use Linux, Mac OS, Windows Vista or Windows 7 in but have to use Turbo C++ in full screen environment so you are stuck with Windows XP or older version of Windows.
Installtion Of Dosbox
Dosbox is an x86 emulator with dos. It is available for Linux, Windows and Mac. It can be used to run legacy DOS applications and Games. We will use to run Turbo C++.

Dosbox may be present in the repository if you use Linux. Use your package manager to install dosbox.

Windows and Mac installers\binaries can be found in the official website.

One-Time Setup
Place the installed Turbo C++ or Turbo C++ Setup in a folder. You might want this folder to mount as drive inside the dosbox. For that find the dosbox.conf file and add appropriate lines in the [autoexec] section. For example, if you want to mount a directory MyDosFiles as c:, then you must write the following in the dosbox based on your OS. For Windows (Vista or 7) you will need to add the following lines:
mount c c:\MyDosFiles
if the directory is in c:\
In Linux and Mac, it will be something like:
mount c /home/username/MyDosFiles
if the directory is in /home/username i.e. the home directory.

If you just plan to use Turbo C, you might as well launch the Turbo C++ IDE each time you start dosbox by adding folowing extra lines in dosbox.
c:
cd tc
tc.exe

Here I have assumed that you have installed version of Turbo C++ in the tc directory in MyDosFiles.

Also, you might want to add
fullscreen = true
at the top of the dosbox.conf file to start it in full screen.

Now, you can Launch dosbox and enjoy.

To quit, you will need to quit the IDE and type in exit at the prompt.

Hope this helps. Please post back comments and feedback. Also share if you get stuck somewhere.
