hello!
Can anyone figure out how to dual boot this tablet please? "ASUS Transformer Book T100TA-C1-GR"
it has 8.1 windows, I would like to dual boot it to android also Asus said that it does not support it but I know that their are many things out there that manufacturers say that it can't be done, but in fact many of those are possible.
I believe they just don't want people to do this so they would buy their new product coming out with dual boot!
thanks

Alright Being a Linux Nut, though not a programmer by any means, I believe I had mistakenly read that The Prime could have Ubuntu either install over writing Android and/or dual booting both and had run out and bought one as this would make my day,
Now to my dread I believe i was reading about the original Transformer and not the prime as this device is still bootloader locked, as a long search I have found nothing conclusive, could a dev or mod please give me the single one shot answer?
and how about the likely hood of that dual boot being ported to the prime upon bootloader being crack/unlocked?
Thank you

It will come but only when the bootloader it released. at this current moment we cannot play with the boot sectors or load custom roms when this comes (sometime in Feb) you will see more on the dev forum

Haha I am with you on that! Only reason I bought mine was to dual boot Linux. It will happen. Meanwhile I am experimenting making arm images and using the vnc as a stop gap.

yea, it will happen.
Most kernel support should be straight forward, and if a compatible kernel is used as a base, even the tuxera modules (for ntfs and exfat) should be loadable.
One thing that will be needed to get the "prime" performance tho will be at the mercy of nvidia.
We'll need an X server driver out for tegra3 devices. I'm holding out hope that "netbooks" using the tegra3 will drive this ... friggin closed source crap
Having their driver also allow mirroring out to HDMI is also a big deal for me.
I personally am looking at ensuring a good "touch" experience (and also possibly utilizing the maxStylus), as well as getting a ps3 move controller to control it as a mythTV frontend
Thanks for the heads up, I guess I'll wait till feb to see if it comes to light or not, Glad to see I'm not the only one who bought this for linux through
The new Plasma Active UI from the KDE guys looks like it might be nice on a tablet such as the Prime. http://plasma-active.org/
Yes it does, though I'm a fan of Gnome, and a disposer of unity.. Unity its self is also supposed to be for tablets as well, choice choice and all in the Linux direction
There has been some discussion, but none since the Consumer Preview came out about being able to get Windows on a tablet such as the Gtab which is a Tegra2 chipset.
Does anybody know if it is even possible to get Windows on the Gtab at any point without a specific bootloader for it? With Android being more open than Windows we can tinker and change it far more than we ever will with Windows so I am not so much as asking if it is being done as much as I am asking if it can be done. And then if so if anybody is even looking at doing it. I would love to take a Consumer Preview copy and try to install it on my Gtab just to see if it would work but I don't know enough about tablet technology to even start, desktop on the other hand I'll get working, but not with a tablet.
So after all this, if anybody is willing to assist in trying this I am will to test it out. I have 2 Gtabs and I am willing to put one up for testing, but I want to do the testing so I can learn if anybody is will to teach.
IMO Never

gTab doesn't come close to meeting the min hardware specs that Microsoft has published for Win8 tablets (screen res, hardware buttons, storage space, UEFI support, Bluetooth 4.0, 720P camera, magnetometer & gyro, etc). It is doubtful that any modern Windows version will ever run in the 512M of memory the gTab has. In addition, MS has also said that Win8 Tablet will be tied to hardware (you won't be able to go to your local PC store & pick up a copy to install on any old tablet). The vendors will tie Win8 to their specific hardware & that is the only way you will be able to get it.
FYI, the Win8 tabs that were given out at BUILD had an Intel core i5 processor, 4G ram, 64G SSD, 1366x768 display, Wireless N, & 3G.
With android, devs have access to os source code that helps them to be able to modify android to the varying hardware. In the case of Win8, I don't believe you will ever see MS release source code which would make the task of porting to an unsupported devices next to impossible. Just my 2 cents.

I was curious if anyone had any idea if the Prime would be able to run Win RT when released. I think it would be awesome to have access to both systems on this hardware. Hey the Asus Tablet 600 has a Tegra 3 also.
Given how the Prime struggles to run Android properly, I wouldn't place much hope on it. Certainly Asus wouldn't be supporting it. They're too busy as it is trying to fix up the Android experience.
Maybe the XDA devs will come up with something...

From what I understand, the Asus Tablet 600 basically a Transformer Prime, except it has double the RAM. So, I'm certain it would run on our TF201s, but the problem is Win RT is only available installed on new devices. You won't be able to buy a disc or download it from MS like Win 7 or W8. If someone were to somehow extract the image from a device, say the 600, I'm sure it would be more likely than not that it would run on our tabs.
I'm also hoping for this to happen. Dual boot would be sick, but I might even replace Android with WinRT if I had to. I'd probably go back and fourth between OSes if it weren't too complicated.
Fingers crossed
from what i have read, windows rt would require a different bootloader.
so there is basically no chance it would come to the tf201
Not interested in using the Android system but would like to install Ubuntu as the sole operating system. Any suggestions?

My name is Optimus Prime and I send this message..
UMMMMMMM.....
maybe don't buy and android tablet? i have dual booted ubuntu for a quite some time and it is far from fully functional. It takes alot of time even to make it work somewhat.
Hi, wanted to know which one you recommend, i already have the tf201 but it have the normal problems like wifi/bt/gps/random boot-loops/browser crashes.
I was offered to replace to the tf300 but declined due to the fact the tf201 is twice more powerful, now i got offered to switch to the tf600 which i just now isn't an android at all and uses windows. is it possible to put android on it? is it more powerful then the tf201 and how stable is it compared to a laptop...
I prefer android myself due to my line of work but if that does all the prime can do and even better just without having android i don't find it to be such a big problem.
Would be happy to hear from people who have tried the tf600, also some info about specs could help i didn't find it in the Asus site it shows some different Vivo types which are much more powerful then the tf600, some say it got a tegra3 processor while others say its the cortex-A9 and others Intel® Atom™ Z2760 Dual-Core. wanted to know maybe it got the prime back plate problem?
P.S
is it possible to add android on this tablet? it got a windows RT on it[the tf600]
Thank You.
