I have Windows 2000 but it cannot start up. I tried a Live USB of Ubuntu but nothing happens when I plug it in. How can I install a Linux distribution on it? It has a floppy drive.

Install Fedora Linux?
I have an old PC that got eaten alive by viruses and EVERYTHING, except core system files are gone or corrupted by a virus and I dont feel like fixing it. I’m thinking about wiping my hard drive completely and setting up Fedora on it to use as a workstation. Will I be able to install from a Live-CD with no operating system already on it? How? it currently has WinXP Service pack 3.

Help with spyware/virus issue.
When I log into WinXP I get a blue screen with a message that says Warning! Spyware detected on this computer! Install antivirus or antispyware program. It doesn’t let me get to the desktop. It doesn’t let me into Safe Mode. I can boot from a live linux cd and access the internet, but can’t find any virus scan that will work this way. Any ideas? And I also tried a repair install of XP, that didn’t work either.
