I installed window xp. It is very slow. I tried to install Ubuntu 9.04 with VirtualBox4 or directly with a USB CDROM drive. With both methods have a problem imput/output . Equipment: RB-110, Micro SDHC4 OF 16GB Kingston. Can you help me please

WinXP runs a bit slow on RoBoard because the speed of the SD card restricts performance of the RoBoard.
From Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Dig ... ss_Ratings
you can find the speed/Class ratings.

it is successful to install Ubuntu step by step by refering to RB-100/RB-110 Linux Installation Guide (for Ubuntu)
(http://www.roboard.com/download_ml.htm).

Can you show more information with your problem ?

Hello, Thank you josh

I followed the instructions Roboard. VirtualBox version is not the same as the tutorial because I could’nt find it. I downloaded Ubuntu 9.04 with the link of the tutorial. I did this several times. USB stick with the method it crashes 5% formatting (error input / output). With the installation CD, I chose the menu UBUNTU and I have lots of lines that appears but then nothing I can do, or when I get an error input / output. I use Windows XP LSD instead, but if Ubuntu use less resources, I’ll use it. I have a kit BIOLOID prenium and I want to make video and audio recognition. Have you got idea about the error occured (input / output) at installation of Ubuntu ? Thank you for your answer.

hi,

VirtualBox old version:

VirtualBox 3.2 should work it.

Thank you ... And yet I sought ????? I'll try and I'll keep you informed.

that's fine.

it is not too easy to find the old virtualbox verion web.

when you install ubuntu using virtualbox,

must be sure that the VMDK file will be created successfully (see STEP 10 in the manaul).

and then be sure that there is no warning as mount the VMDK file on virtualbox.

good luck
