Dear nmglugers, I urgently need a charger for a Toshiba laptop. Mine just died. The reason is that I am running a chess tournament this weekend. The tournament needs this particular laptop, which I inherited from the guy who used to run them. It runs "windows 7 home premium 32bit" and a piece of s/w called SwissSys which is required to submit tournaments, and which I have not been able to port with Wine. So I need to urgently do one of the following: * Find a charger that can handle 19V, 3.43 amperes, and has the right shape and polarity. * Find someone who has experience "lifting" a Windows installation into a VM to run on a GNU/Linux system. It would have to preserve the CPU id or whatever mechanism this s/w uses to node-lock. * Do a new installation of a Windows VM and get the new s/w on there - would have to happen very quickly on Friday morning, and might still fail. Has anyone ever installed Windows into a VM and can guide me through it? That is the solution for the medium term because I don't want to have a Windows laptop for chess tournaments. Anyone have ideas?
