Which linux, Ubuntu or Mandriva…i am a complete novice?

Posted on December 20, 2011 by admin| 10 Comments

i have been looking at loading Linux on my 3 pc’s at home, basically for security purposes, i know there is little risk of a virus and hacker etc, i find microsoft bloatware slows down too easily as with any antivirus slows down a pc, so i have downloaded a few live cd and have narrowed it to ubuntu or Mandriva, i want the easiest to use and find all my drivers for, i am initially going to do it on my laptop and then follow suit with the desktops when i am up to speed with it, which is better, Ubuntu or Mandriver, remember i am a complete novice with linux

I get a BSoD when loading windows??????

Posted on June 3, 2011 by admin| 2 Comments

When I turn the computer ON and it boots up with Windows XP Home Edition, it just all of a sudden flashes up with the Blue Screen of Death, but only for half a second and i cant get a look at it?????

I got no idea whats going on, can someone please help me with easy steps.

I have tried using Safe Mode, and it goes through its precesses, then does the same thing, so I can’t access my computer any way, and i tried using a Live CD of Luit Linux that has been based on DAMN SMALL LINUX, and I cant access my files from Windows XP…..

The only reason im not just formatting it, is because I want to save the files on there because I need them really badly for work…..

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME PLEASEEEEEE ! ! ! !
