I have a old as dirt compaq presario notebook and a linux live cd that I would like my computer to booot off of. I can get to the BIOS menu but I’m not sure what to do from there.
I can get to the boot menu and I set the boot priority or w/e to cd-rom 1st and i do save and exit and it still comes up windows and i restart and it still comes up windows.

Hey there,
I bought the Gateway NX850X notebook around november 2005.
Everything worked fine but now I totally formated my harddrive and no wI don’t have any sound anymore.
My new OS is Microsoft Windows XP Professional (Service Pack 2+), Gateway just had Windows XP Home pre-installed when they delivered it.
The soundcard is not defect, I tried out Knoppix (some linux OS that boots from CD) and I had sound there, but there is no possible way to install sound drivers on Win XP.
It always tries to install the CONEXANT AC-LINK AUDIO drivers. I tried to install any AC97 drivers (Realtek AC97) but it didn’t work. The Conexant driver always comes back up again but I don’t have any sound.
The Gateway online support chatted with me for quite a while and also tried to fix the problem with some remote software but nothing worked. They offered me to send a driver CD but I am living in Germany and they won’t send it over here. Does anybody have an idea which drivers to take?
Thanks you 
Ben
Nope, in the control panel it says something like “No sound device” (might be different in English, I just translated it from German windows ^^)

I thinking about installing fedora 9 live cd on to a usb flash drive to use on my notebook. How fast does linux run off the flash drive? Is it faster then using a live cd? Can i get it to save the password for my wireless network? Will i be able save files and install programs?
thanks
