I’m trying to set up a dual boot system on my HP pavilion dv6000 laptop running Windows Vista, but when I try to load the live CD, after i click “Run or install Ubuntu 7.10″ it prints out this list, then near the bottom it says something like “no such file or directory” about 4 to 6 times.
I obviously have “boot from cd” enabled, is there anything else? HELP?!?!?!
Yes, I have partitioned my hard drive, but it still doesn’t work. I’ll try that F6 thing but i dunno…

I want to try a Linux based OS on my machine as dual boot system w/ Windows Vista. Found lots of info in net, tried Ubuntu Live CD (without install), however cannot decide which OS will be the best for me. I’m not experienced w/ Linux and just want to try open source soft. I researched all of these distributions http://www.linux.com/distributions/ Is out there something else I don’t know about? Also the question is which distribution will work the best on my machine which is HP Pavillion dv9420us, see http://www.shopping.hp.com/webapp/shopping/product_detail.do?storeName=computer_store&landing=computers&category=notebooks/dv9000z_series&subcat1=rts&catLevel=3&product_code=GA354UA%23ABA&tab=detailed_specs#defaultAnchor Thanks!
Can I try other OS without installing them (like Ubuntu)?

I have a dual boot system: ubuntu and vista.
I have 4 partitions: ubuntu /, ubuntu swap, vista C:, vista D:.
I have a variety of documents/programs on both systems.
I was wondering if there was some way I could execute linux in windows so I don’t have to reboot constantly to switch systems. I am not looking for a way to reinstall. I am not reinstalling ubuntu in a vm or usb stick or live cd. I need to load my EXISTING ubuntu partition in windows so I can have it running at the same time. does anyone know how to do this? If you are just going to write nonsense or how to install from live cd or flash drive, please don’t answer.
