Posted on May 11, 2012 by admin| 1 Comment

ok heres what im doing. i’ve just downloaded linux and ran the live cd and im gonna stick with it. so i want to install it and i just bought a external harddrive (320 GB simpletech harddrive) because i dont want to partition my drive and i want to install it on the external harddrive, but i dont know if its bootable or not so everytime i boot my machine and the usb cable is plugged in it’ll boot up in ubuntu and vice versa. but if dosent work then i’ll just have to transfer my data to the external and partition my disk with majority of the space. i dont know if i eplained it well enough. i hope you get my point. thanks.

i have windows xp by the way.
ok i checked my bios, and i dont have the usb option, what do i do? should i backup my primary hdd to my external and partition my primary and install linux.

Problem about linux (knoppix)?

Posted on May 9, 2012 by admin| 5 Comments

I have downloaded the 5.1.1 version of knoppix. I use windows XP. I have downloaded the .iso file of knoppix. I read that I have to burn it on a CD. I did it on a DVD but it’s the live cd version of linux. I restarted my computer, and instead of using linux, the windows xp starts, as always. I read I have to go on the BIOS and change the order to startup between the hardrive and the cd player, or something like that. But I don’t know how to enter the BIOS, and when I start my computer, the screen is all dark till windows starts, so I can’t type F12 or another command to access the BIOS. My question is : How can I start up Knoppix? Or, how can I enter the BIOS, and how exactly must I do to change the order of startup between the hardrive and the CD player. Thanks in advance.
Thanks. I could enter the BIOS with F2, but it says that my DVD/CD player would start before the hard drive. Therefore I don’t understand why it doesn’t start. I’m still blocked.
Oh, I think I know what the problem is. It’s because I burned the .iso file as a data file and not an image. I must buy a CD and burn the .iso file on it, as an image, since I can’t from a DVD. Thanks to all.

So i downloaded two different kinds of Linux, Ubuntu and openSUSE both are live CD’s. The problem is that they freeze when i try to boot them. Is something wrong with my hardware?

Here are some spec about my pc:
Intel Pentium 4 3ghz
graphic card nivida Geforce 5500 fx
1gb of ram
The pc i have is HP pavilion a1240n with was produced in 05 i think….
And I’m also running windows vista ultimate but i dont think thats a problem
