Knoppix 5.1.1 Live CD and Internet Connection?

Posted on May 13, 2011 by admin| 1 Comment

I am trying to figure out if I can connect to the internet via Knoppix 5.1.1 live cd. Everything seems to boot just fine, and during bootup it says that eth0 and DHCP is detected. I tried to configure kwlan, but apparently I am doing it incorrectly or it isn’t possible. I am new to Knoppix and Linux and so I am not very sure. My network seems to show up in kwlan, I clicked the “Activate” button, but I cannot get online. I have no firewall. I am trying to connect with a Broadcom 802.11b/g WLAN – Packet Scheduler Miniport. Any ideas?

re-install xp problems?

Posted on April 21, 2011 by admin| 5 Comments

Ok, I have an hp pavillion dv1000 and I was running Ubuntu (for a C programming class I was taking). Afterwards I wanted to switch back to Windows XP Pro. I used DBAN to wipe the drive clean. Afterwards I booted from the cd drive with the xp disc. Everything loaded and then when it said to press enter to continue with the installation, I got an error saying “setup did not find any hard disk installed”. I don’t understand this, when I run a Linux live cd I can view and access the hard drive, but the XP disc can’t find it. I’m planning on updating to Vista in the next few days anyways but I wanted to know what’s going on….and btw does anybody know if the same problem exists with Vista?

Ubuntu live CD broke GRUB, now what?

Posted on July 28, 2010 by admin| 1 Comment

Long story short, a flaw in my 9.04 live CD has caused a GRUB file to disappear. My Ubuntu live cd’s stopped working, Puppy Linux live CD can’t find GRUB in my computer, and a Fedora live CD can’t even boot. I’ve tried everything I can think of to fix it, but nothing’s worked. Any ideas?
