linux live cd boot problem?

Posted on April 9, 2012 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

How do I get my wireless card working in Linux Mint 4.0?

Posted on March 6, 2012 by admin| 1 Comment

I’m planning on switching from Ubuntu 7.04 to Linux Mint 4.0 and I’ve tried out the mint live cd and everything else is running fine. The restricted drivers manager has the atheros driver for my D-Link DWL-G510 rev. B card enabled just like in ubuntu but it says the device isn’t enabled, also in the network manager only the wired connection for my nic card appears. I need to be able to enable my wireless card before I install Mint.

Linux help?

Posted on January 25, 2012 by admin| 8 Comments

Hey everyone. I’m having an issue while trying to boot off the live cd I downloaded and burned. I am able to run it on my desktop just fine but when I try to load it on my laptop my screen turns weird. What will happen when I boot is: the ubuntu welcome screen comes up asking me what I would like to do. I choose start ubuntu and hit enter and then a quick message flashes on the top that says “bios bug #81 found” after that the OS starts initializing and during all the system checks I notice another error that reads “error micro code: bcm43xx_microcode5.fw” After that a black grid comes up on the screen and covers the entire screen while a blue/grey blob glows and gets really bright and then slowly fades until the screen is completely blank. Has anyone had this problem or know how I can fix it? Any help is greatly appreciated and the specs on my laptop are on this link:

erase linux from external HDD?

Posted on January 16, 2012 by admin| 3 Comments

I recently installed Linux Ubuntu on a external laptop hard drive to keep vista on my internal drive. Ubuntu worked fine but there was one problem, the external hard drive had to be present in order to boot windows using Grub. In order to save myself from a future frustration (external drive being damaged or missing).
But my problem is this: now every time that I connect my external HDD (with Ubuntu installed) it doesn’t even show up on “My computer”. So I want to format it to the way it was (clean)
If not through windows, Can someone tell me how to format it throu the Live CD?
