I brought my copy of Nero-burned Ubuntu CD to the Malloy Hall Computer Lab where another classmate was just completing his own hijacking. Our class expert, Tapan, was also in the Lab so I purposefully conveniently took the empty seat beside him. That proved to be a wise move.

Step 1: Loaded CD and it offered me the option to install instead of rebooting. Tapan said that the pc was not automatically rebooting so I would need to restart the PC.

Step 1a: Restarted PC and hit F2 to change settings so that it would reboot from CD.

Step 2: Restarted PC again and this time, Ubuntu was initiated.

Step 3: Posed beside hijacked PC as evidence of completed assignment.

 Successful Hijack!

Step 4: Took a snapshot of Ubuntu at work on the hiajcked PC and played around with it a little. Discovered that Ubuntu has a whole list of games like mahjong etc but resisted the urge to play because I had to go off to another class up on the hill. emoticon

 

Step 5: Exited from Ubuntu and restored hijacked PC 

 

Step 5a: Unfortunately both Brad and I ran into a minor glitch where the PC hung with the above screen showing after releasing the CD to us. My first instinct was to run away as fast as possible check with Tapan and he reassured us that all we needed to do was to restart the PC. We did just that and the PC was restored to the usual Windows operating system.
