I want to make a live disc of a Linux operating system, so I downloaded the “ISO” of Ubuntu 7.10. After downloading I used “ISO Buster” to extract the files. Then wrote them on to a disc. But, when I tried to boot form the disc the computer goes ahead into my second boot option which is the hard drive, skipping the CD. I tried both the x86 and x64 versions. And even tried it on another computer nothing seems to help. Am I doing something wrong or is it just the disc?
Thanks.

Hey, I’m trying to install Ubuntu from the live CD. The Ububtu option screen comes up, I select Start or Install Ubuntu from Live CD. Then the screen goes black for a moment and give a message giving some sort of timer error and for me to set noapic as a boot option, what could be causing this? I have ran Ubuntu perfectly fine in the past with most of the other versions, this is version 7.10 and it doesn’t seem to wanna work. Any help?
+ Same problem with Linux Mint 4.0
HAVE had ubuntu installed on this system before, and it’s not a dell.
Checked all the forums i can and no real solution found.
also, anyone know any other linux dist. that use the new Beryl with the spinning box desktop?

I have MSI Megabook S270 running on Windows XP (OEM). I recently installed Windows 7 Release Candidate on drive D (Windows XP is on drive C). It turns out that I don’t like Seven. Now I want to restore everything, but it seems the F3 options from Symantec Ghost (right after BIOS-boot) doesn’t come out. I already checked the partition with Active Partition Manager that the recovery partition (drive 1) is still there. And I also checked with Puppy Linux OS Live (running on CD) that the partition is accessible. I don’t know whether the recovery data is incomplete or not.
I don’t have a recovery CD/DVD, the notebook came to me only with DC adapter, nothing else.
My question is: how to restore the F3 option. I want to restore Windows XP to the original manufacturer setting.
Thank you so much…
