Puppy and network storage Mega sync
Posted: Fri 22 Jan 2016, 18:11
Hello puppy people,
First of all i stumbled upon Puppy through these website.
https://www.winhelp.us/non-destructive- ... d-8-1.html
https://www.winhelp.us/recover-files-us ... linux.html
I'm using a Lenovo ideapad y500: i5-3210M CPU @ 2.50GHz, 8gb ram, GeForce GT 650M, 500gb hdd, OEM.
I did something stupid during an unplanned clean-up of my windows 8.1
Lenovo y500 ideapad system. I deleted too much drivers and stuff from autorun. After i deleted my recovery images and system restores first.
So i rebooted it, couldn't get into Windows 8.1, getting BSODs. No safemode neither. I tried much including what they write on those 2 links. Fixboot, changing from AHCI to IDE in BIOS and all sorts of commands in console. Then i downloaded a bootable Windows 8 iso file, make it bootable on a flashdrive. From there on i tried a new install. Couldn't get further in partition table because my partitions are GPT...
I put 5.2.8 Lucid Puppy on the USB pen drive, as i gave up saving the windows 8.1. And proceed to saving the data i had. Those are mostly games. And i don't have a secondary hard drive or computer with much storage. I initially thought of Google Drive. But needing more than the 15GB free account gives you. I searched for another network storage. I found Mega.nz and paid 4.99 euro for 200gb and 1TB bandwidth. As im writing this i've uploaded 72GB already. But i was wondering about this Mega Sync client. They offer you also for linux inside your online account. Inside a dropdown menu you have to select your distro. Puppy not in there but Ubuntu does.
The question is how is: How to install this Mega sync client for Puppy? And does this offer faster upload speed or not. Or is a puppy distro required on my hard drive itself to be installed for the Mega client to work?
Because i'm willing to do that but need help because of my GPT partitions.
Without damaging the windows partition which has a size of 418.1GB.
I cleaned up a 20gb partition which is still NTFS filesystem.
And which distro is best for me to install. I would like to play some games, while i'm waiting for all my data i want to recover, to be uploaded on the Mega cloud.
Credits for puppy being the first linux distro i ever tried in my life and got working. Tried Debian and Gentoo in the past. never got further then setting up working internet which is essential for me. Even what i'm doing now is working, but just takes quite some time. I'm glad and satisfied with Puppy providing me a solution.
Thanks in advance,
Tipi
