- Hi, I'm Lucy from the MagPi,
the official Raspberry Pi magazine.
If you got issue 60 of the MagPi,
you'll have noticed this free
DVD sitting on the front.
This is the Raspberry Pi desktop,
and with this DVD, you can
install the Raspberry Pi desktop
on a PC or Mac.
It gets rid of the Windows
or the Mac operating system
and replaces it with Raspberry Pi desktop.
It's a really neat way to
get a light operating system
that's perfect for programming
on an old computer.
You will need an old Intel
Mac or PC with a DVD tray.
Now, be warned.
This tutorial erases the Mac
or Windows operating system
on your hard drive,
so make sure you're using an old computer
with nothing you need on the hard drive.
The first thing you need to do
is t put the DVD in your
computer and boot from it.
On a Mac, you hold down
the C button when booting.
Most PCs, like this one,
will boot automatically from the DVD.
But if they don't, you may
need to enter the BIOS settings
and adjust the boot hard.
The software loads, and
you'll see this boot menu.
You can test out the Raspberry Pi desktop
using Run without persistence,
but we're going to go
straight for the full install.
Move down to Install and press Enter.
Wait for the DVD to load
and select British
English from the options.
Now wait for the hardware
detection to take place.
When you get to Partition disks,
select Guided use entire disk.
Once again, this is going to
erase your entire hard drive.
Now select your hard drive from the list.
On most laptops, you'll
only have the one option.
Ours is marked SCSI1 or S-C-S-I one.
Next, choose the All files
in one partition option
and then Finish partitioning
and write changes to disk.
Press the left arrow to select Yes
and press Enter to format your hard drive.
Next, you just need to wait
for the DVD to install the
operating system to disk.
This takes around 10 minutes,
depending on the speed of your DVD drive.
Towards the end of the
installation, you'll get this
Install the GRUB boot loader
on a hard disk screen.
Select Yes and choose the device.
You should have a list with
just the one option, /dev/sda.
Until then, eject the DVD,
so remove it and click Enter to continue.
And so I'll finish up and reboot,
and you'll see Welcome to
the Raspberry Pi Desktop.
That's it, you now have
the Raspberry Pi desktop
running on your computer.
Anyway, we hope you find
this tutorial useful
and enjoy using the Raspberry
Pi desktop on your computer.
You'll find a lot of tutorials
like this in the MagPi,
the official Raspberry Pi magazine,
which you can subscribe
to using this link.
You get a free Raspberry
Pi Zero W and a case
with each paid subscription.
I've been Lucy from the MagPi,
see you next time.
