Will Linux recognize my drive?

Posted on July 28, 2010 by admin| 2 Comments

When the time on my free Win7 installation runs out, I want to switch to linux, not sure about the distro yet, maybe one of the *buntus or fedora. I have 2 drives on my windows installation. The C: drive, with all the windows files, which i’d be formatting to replace with linux, and a G: drive, which has all my pictures, music, videos, etc. It is formatted to NTFS (i’m not sure if this matters). Once I install linux, will it be able to recognize my G: drive? I’d go burn a live disk but I don’t have any extra cds.

thanks!

Where can I download a “Linux Live CD” or anything that will work for the same purpose?

Posted on June 15, 2010 by admin| 3 Comments

Hi, my computer has a probem where it wont get past the windows loading screen and it keeps restarting itself. Neither safe mode or going through repair mode with the windows cd works so far, so someone told me I should download a free “Linux Live Cd” so that I can boot off of it into my desktop so that I can save all of my family photos, important documents, and music onto a flash drive or a cd or something and then reinstall windows again. But, when I tried looking around I get to these company home pages where I have no clue what exactly it is that I’m downloading and none of which have the context “live cd” in them so I really want to make sure that it’s the right thing. Can anyone please direct me to the download page of what it is that I am looking for? Any help would be much appreciated as this is a very frustrating situation and I am on the verge of losing many important things that are dear to me, thanks alot!

what type of linux would be best suggested?

Posted on April 18, 2010 by admin| 5 Comments

i am wondering what linux version would be the best for me, i am a little bit of a nerd, i am a gamer, i love browsing the web and downloading videos, and i like to listen to music off of the web, and i want to have an ftp program of some sort. and i dont want to bog down on the processor any bit, i do not care for word prosesing or any hexediting programs, i want a music player and video player in it, and if this could all be bundled into a live cd that would be even better! but it doesnt have to.

thanks,
Cory
