I get a BSoD when loading windows??????

Posted on June 3, 2011 by admin| 2 Comments

When I turn the computer ON and it boots up with Windows XP Home Edition, it just all of a sudden flashes up with the Blue Screen of Death, but only for half a second and i cant get a look at it?????

I got no idea whats going on, can someone please help me with easy steps.

I have tried using Safe Mode, and it goes through its precesses, then does the same thing, so I can’t access my computer any way, and i tried using a Live CD of Luit Linux that has been based on DAMN SMALL LINUX, and I cant access my files from Windows XP…..

The only reason im not just formatting it, is because I want to save the files on there because I need them really badly for work…..

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME PLEASEEEEEE ! ! ! !

My laptop won’t run the Ubuntu Linux 6.10 (Edgy Eft) live CD. Why won’t it work?

Posted on March 29, 2011 by admin| 1 Comment

My Sony Vaio runs the CD well. So does my dad’s Dell Inspiron. However, my Toshiba Tecra won’t. Instead of going to the screen on boot-up, it continued to run the Windows XP boot up. The ISO was the official one, and I used the official ISO recorder. I made another CD, and its the same problem. My laptop has had issues with many computer games, specifically the classic NVIDEA display problem, but it seems that is unlikely. Maybe it could be caused from interferrence from an ISO mounter. Do I need to set my computer to read the CD before it boots?

ubuntu boots to busybox after installation…help!?

Posted on August 5, 2010 by admin| 3 Comments

hello i was wondering if anyone could help me with a linux/ubuntu problem.
i have been having alot of problems trying to install ubuntu onto my computer but i have made a little progress. my 750 gb seagate barracuda sata drive wasnt being detected when trying to install but i followed this guide and it has helped me a little:

http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=6525236&postcount=18

following this made it possible for me to detect the hard drive and follow the installation but once its installed and i reboot the computer goes into busybox instead of ubuntu saying it has given up trying to load the root device. ive rebooted several times with no luck and when running the live cd it doesnt detect my hard drive either, even though i have installed it onto the drive. im not sure what to do, any advice would be helpful, thank you

also, these are the specs of my PC
Asus A8V-x MoBo
AMD athlon 64 X2 processor
GEforce 6800 Graphics Card
1gb RAM

how can i get my mac to boot from cd?

Posted on August 5, 2010 by admin| 5 Comments

okay im new to this i need big help. my school got a new mac lab and they threw away the old ones. i asked for one and they gave it to me. its a power mac g4. im very knowledgeable about computers, the computer needed some work and it turns out that the harddrive had been completely formatted. there is no operation system on it and i do not have a boot cd. ive tried booting ubuntu linux but ubuntu requires a os to be on the computer. i have a live cd for linux from scratch and i would like to just put linux on it but every time i try to boot from a cd i just get the grey screen with the blinking file. to make matters worse i dint have a mac keyboard so im using a usb one. ive tried cmd-opn-f-o and holding down c and even comd-opn-shift-delete and nothings boots from the cd. ive put 15 hours in the past day to get this to work and im running out of ideas. PLEASE I BEG YOU. PLEASE HELP!!!! i will be eternally grateful. thanks again!
the problem with most of your answers is that ive tried al the comands and the wont work. ive tried just holding option key and nothing comes up. ive tried holding c key and nothing comes up. same with cmd optn f o. could it be the keyboard? i dont have a mac keyboard just a usb pc keyboard.
