Do I need a separate Linux partition to use a Live CD and make my wireless card work if it doesn’t auto detect

Also is there a way to save files to my windows partition when I’m using a Live Linux CD?

Really confused here… (computer question)?

Not to long ago i purchased an Acer 5610 laptop. it came with windows vista when i got it. i must have downloaded some sort of virus because it crashed on me a while back. ive tried to install windows numerous times ever since. first i tried xp, i used 3 or for different copies just to make sure i wasnt using one that wouldnt work. xp froze midway through installation ever single time, next i used a linux cd and booted into the “live cd”, this worked but im not an IT professional and i could figure every friggen thing out. what should i do now? please help im at the end of my rope with this pc!
sylver; hell no

to bill g; no, i dont have a copy

to gladiator; from boot
deleted partition, i now have a unpartitioned hd

db young; i dont want to buy vista, i already have a supposedly working copy of xp
to tj; i was using a distro called sabayon, it was the only one i found that had drivers for my wifi card built into the installation cd. i need windows for the compatibility

Where can I download a Live Linux CD iso?

Im looking for a live cd of Ubuntu

linux OS if possible?

I have a quite old desktop with 64MB ram, 12GB HDD, celeron processor (around 500mhz). is it possible to use linux with this config? i want to try a Live Linux CD, V 5.0.1, or should i try some older version?

Windows XP and Ubuntu Sharing Capabilities?

I def want to try out Ubuntu while I also have XP installed for games and etc. I just have one question! Because I don’t want to back up things like my music and videos and etc.. and I do recall a live linux CD called Knoppix being able to read my Windows XP data..
Will Ubuntu be able to do the same exact thing? Can I use my music folders from XP on Ubuntu so I don’t have to back things up and waste HD space for duplicates?

Thanks in advance,

Dominick
