Is my laptop Linux resistant?

I have a Toshiba A215-S7422 and I’m having trouble with linux. I tried to use BackTrack2 a few months ago. When I tried to boot from the live CD, i was able to log in, but when i used starx (i think thats what it was) i started to try to boot, and then it got stuck in a some sort of loop. Today Idecided to try to play aroung with Ubuntu, and when I select the start/install option, it just sits there. My guess is that it is stuck in a loop again, but since it doesnt show the progress like the BackTrack does, im not sure. The CD drive seems to be making the same noise over and over. For both of them I let them sit there for a long time (20 min) It isnt the CDs because they both worked in my desktop, and a friends Dell laptop. Any ideas?

Hard Drive PROBLEM!?

OK my laptop hasn’t been working for a few months now for unknown reasons. But the bottom line is: i try to reformat and stuff but it says no hard drive found so it can’t reformat. =/ If you’re wondering what happens when i boot my laptop, when I turn it on, it doesn’t go to the windows screen (where windows XP is loading) it just stays black with a white dashed line blinking int he corner. However, I am able to boot up a linux Live CD (backtrack 2 and knoppix both work) and able to go online and stuff with them. So i dunno is my hard drive broken? or still working in a way? any ideas?

booting Backtrack 2 from the cd drive?

So i downloaded the backtrack 2 iso file (i think its a live distro linux type program) and burned it to a cd. How do run it? I have heard you run it by booting your computer from the cd drive. How exactly do i go about this (simple instructions please)? i need directions for booting from the cd drive. I have windows xp an only about 400 mb of ram. Can i run backtrack 2 (600mb program) with this little ram?
i have an emachine if that helps tell what key to hit upon startup. and i have 384mb of ram to be exact
