Will Linux Live Cd boot with a bad harddisk?

Posted on June 7, 2010 by admin| 4 Comments

My harddisk has a bad sector and I burned Gnome linuxliveOS cd. It hangs on the bootscreen and won’t boot at all? Puppy linux won’t boot at all. Is there any live cd that I can boot with a corrupt harddrive disk? Can I boot anything without a harddisk? thanks.
Computer is Dell C600 no installation cds and already tried recovery cd,
I already have the ultimate boot cd but I have not run disk check before. Which task under the disk options repairs the bad sector? My windows installation is on the D:/ partition ( it moved from C:/)

linux live cd boot problem?

Posted on June 6, 2010 by admin| 4 Comments

my linux live cd’s work completelly fine, but when i turn the computor off , turn it back on , then quickly take out the cd so windows, instead of linux , boots , it commes to this black screen that sais something like “windows has required a problem booting , what should it do?”

i press last working configuration and it boots windows…. but as it boots it starts this annoying whirring sound

i restarted the pc, hoping to god that i didnt kill my moms pc, like the day before

($150 down the drain)

and it booted normally

this really scared me because the whole thing was exactly what happend when the pc crached a few days before

i think it crashed a few days ago from the fact that i installed linux (ubuntu fiesty) via wubi on the hard drive… i thought the live cd didnt interact with the hard drive

please help…tell me if i should stop using live cd’s , why , and , if possible, and tell me an alternate way to boot linux wothout in any way interactingwiththe drive
