Since switching to Android before Christmas, I've been looking for a good pair of headphones. I used a pair of Newer Tech headphones for the iPhone, considering they only cost $20, they were surprisingly good. I would have continued using them if my SE Xperia Neo was compatible with them.

Today I received the Marshall Minor headphones I ordered from Amazon. I had read some positive reviews, I liked their appearance and it never stated anywhere that they were for iPhone only. So I plug them into the Xperia Neo, I get exactly the same error message as with the Newer Tech headphones. Luckily the Minors came with an adapter that disables the microphone, so I can still use them for listening to music.

Has anyone had a similar experience with any other of the Xperia phones? I'm guessing that buying a pair of Sony headphones would solve the problem but I'd rather not pay £40 for something that sounds like it cost £4.99.

I've had this ever since I bought Comix Zone new in about '97. I've been meaning to upload for years.

Here's a Mega Upload link

It's in MP3 format, if anyone else wants another format I could probably do that.

This is really starting to get to me, no matter what guide I follow the result is always the same. What I'm trying to do is dual boot LInux Mint LDE and WinXP SP3 using 2 HDDs. How do I go about this? I've tried using various guides that all seem to say something slightly different. The main problem being that GRUB doesn't appear it just boots straight into windows.

Here is my current partition set up.


/dev/sda1 is obviously the winXP partition. I've left free space on the drive because I will likely upgrade to win7 at some point. /dev/sdb is empty and ready for Linux.

I'm helping a friend with his computer that was recently dropped on the floor. It killed the hard drive, so first thing I did was replace it. While everything booted up, the win7 install disk refused to recognise the new sata hdd. I used an IDE drive and win7 installed without problem, does anyone have any suggestions?
