My computer will not boot up windows xp. I was having problems with a few days before. It was turning off randomly. I tried to reinstall windows and the problem did not stop. Now i cant load up windows anymore. All i get is the logo that appears when i boot my computer up the the screen goes black. I have tried a live cd of linux and it works fine. What do I do to fix this.
I dont have an xp cd but a restore cd

ill start off by saying its a live cd. do you need to install it first and then set up the internet connection? i have a 2wire 1100 modem. the way i have it set up is i have the modem connected to the usb port on my computer. i then have a phone cord connected from the modem to the phone jack in my room. i am running windows xp with service pack 2. my computers keyboard driver is currupted and i dont have a windows disc so im trying to install ubuntu linux. i already have a live cd ready. i tried netstat and it came up with a bunch of crap but it said everything was connected. i ran ifconfig and it didnt work either. I need some help and thanks in advance.

Hey, I’m trying to install Ubuntu from the live CD. The Ububtu option screen comes up, I select Start or Install Ubuntu from Live CD. Then the screen goes black for a moment and give a message giving some sort of timer error and for me to set noapic as a boot option, what could be causing this? I have ran Ubuntu perfectly fine in the past with most of the other versions, this is version 7.10 and it doesn’t seem to wanna work. Any help?
+ Same problem with Linux Mint 4.0
HAVE had ubuntu installed on this system before, and it’s not a dell.
Checked all the forums i can and no real solution found.
also, anyone know any other linux dist. that use the new Beryl with the spinning box desktop?

I’m going to slowly transition to Linux. To make this as comfortable as possible, I was wondering if anyone knows of a Linux Live CD, bootable from CD, that looks most like the Windows XP theme (preferably with the start button in the bottom left).
Thank you

i downloaded linux ubuntu and wanted to try the live cd to see how it all works. i downloaded ubuntu from linux.com then it automatically burned to a blank disc. when i insert the disc, the splash start pops up showing the Ubuntu graphic, and below says, “loading browser, please wait….” then after a few seconds, closes down and nothing else happens.
how do i proceed from here?
