OMFG this is getting annoying! Why won’t some linux distros load for me?!?

Posted on March 17, 2012 by admin| 2 Comments

I have been trying to set up dual booting with many different distros of linux but it seems any distro worth getting WON’T LOAD!

Ubuntu and Mint linux won’t even load the live CD. But I just recently tried linux Parsix (it’s kinda new) and I loaded the live CD, installed it on my hard drive, but when I reboot, I can’t load it! This is getting ridiculous! I know it has to be my computer because no one else seems to have this problem. It must be a problem specific to my computer because I’ve seen linux running on similar models of mine! I have a HP Pavilion dv6000t with a AMD Turion 62×2 processor. Also when I tried to load Linux Mint live CD, it said something about “Automatically not loading blacklisted module.” What is a module and why has mine been blacklisted?!

I used to have Linux Mandriva before I installed Parsix just a few minutes ago, but Mandriva just sucks sooo badly. Also it was glitchy sometimes, but that might have been because of my hardware. PLEASE HELP!

How do I edit my Linux partion on Windows?

Posted on January 17, 2012 by admin| 3 Comments

I’m dual booting Ubuntu 7.10 and I just reinstalled Windows XP. GRUB is gone, so it only lets me boot into XP. It also won’t let me view my linux partion on XP, just the windows partion. when I boot the live CD, I can still see all my files, but I can’t edit them because I don’t have permissions. any help?
