Ok, i got this laptop cd-rom on my desktop. i was putting a cd in but didn’t really press it in, so now it disappeared somewhere in the thingy. i have no clue how to get it out of there because i can still use it for reading other cd’s, it’s just gives me an uneasy feeling that somewhere in there is a linux live cd-rom. Have any ideas?

How can i remove grub and get a linux live CD to boot?

Posted on July 6, 2010 by admin| 3 Comments

I installed Linux Mint on my laptop (a toshiba satellite a105) and it worked fine. However after a few days i came to the conclusion that it just wasnt the operating system i wanted to use. I downloaded and burnt a live CD of openSUSE, but when i tried to use it my computer always booted directly to Linux Mint. I changed the BIOS to boot from the CD ROM, but that didnt do anything. I held down F12 and chose to boot from CD, and that didnt work either, it just goes right to mint. So using Parted Magic i deleted the partition in hopes that with Linux Mint gone i could boot from a live CD. Now when i try to boot from any CD, it goes to grub and begins loading, but then says error 22 and then i’m stuck. Is there any way to get rid of grub, or any way to get this live CD to boot, because as of now i have no operating system.
