I Have a PC Booting Problem?

Here is what happened. I found out about this thing called wubi so I installed it and it worked good. I installed beryl. I was having problems with screen resolution and frequency. So I edited the some file. Then I restarted my pc and when I select either Windows or Wubi the system stops working and restarts.I do not care about ubuntu. If I can not find a solution I will run a Linux Live CD, copy all my files tomy web server and MegaUpload. Then I will do system recovery. Is this the best solution. If there is a way to fix this please let me know. By the way I cannot boot windows in safe mode or any other mode. I would Really appreciate some help.

Booting from External HDD on Mac problem?

I downloaded a ISO of Ubuntu Live, and burned it to a CD. I booted from it, connected my External Drive, and installed Linux to the Drive. I rebooted my computer while holding down the option key, and the boot manager only showed my Mac and Windows partitions.

What am I doing wrong?

Booting Without HDD??

I have a compaq armada m300 laptop, everything works, but i don’t have a hard disk. When I turn it on and try to boot from a linux live cd, or the network boot, it says “1792 error-”, and that the disk is not properly connected. I work from my flash drive, and therefore don’t need an HDD, so is there any way around this? If there isn’t, is there an HDD (any one, as I said work from my flash drive so it could be 5GB for all i care) for under $20?
Thanks.

Booting from an external DVD drive

do i have any chance of doing that?

the computer im doing it on is a Dell with an Intel Celeron processor, not that that even matters

it’s old and has XP on it, which as you can imagine being Windows is lame

and all i have is Live DVDs of Linux and Unix not CD’s

any suggestions?
