September 20[edit]
Make GRUB handle missing disk[edit]
I have GRUB and Windows installed on my SSD, and Ubuntu on my magnetic HDD. Unless a missing Downloads folder is enough to crash it, Windows should be bootable even without the HDD. But when I disconnect the HDD for troubleshooting purposes, GRUB gives an error message and enters rescue mode. How can I configure it to instead handle the error and display the menu minus Ubuntu?

Audio card to speaker connectivity[edit]
Would it be possible to connect this audio card: Xonar Essence STX with this speaker system: Creative T4? If so, in which ways: digital and/or analogue? Also, would it be possible to connect a 5.1 analogue(3.5mm-connection) speaker system with this audio card somehow? With an adapter maybe? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.183.23.160 (talk) 21:59, 20 September 2014 (UTC)
- This review says the Creative T4 contains its own sound card on the end of a USB connection. So you could just use a usb connection to your computer, and you wouldn't need the Xonar at all. -- Finlay McWalterᚠTalk 23:33, 20 September 2014 (UTC)
