Is my laptop Linux resistant?

Posted on May 15, 2012 by admin| 3 Comments

I have a Toshiba A215-S7422 and I’m having trouble with linux. I tried to use BackTrack2 a few months ago. When I tried to boot from the live CD, i was able to log in, but when i used starx (i think thats what it was) i started to try to boot, and then it got stuck in a some sort of loop. Today Idecided to try to play aroung with Ubuntu, and when I select the start/install option, it just sits there. My guess is that it is stuck in a loop again, but since it doesnt show the progress like the BackTrack does, im not sure. The CD drive seems to be making the same noise over and over. For both of them I let them sit there for a long time (20 min) It isnt the CDs because they both worked in my desktop, and a friends Dell laptop. Any ideas?

toshiba M105-3041?

Posted on November 6, 2011 by admin| 1 Comment

I have a Toshiba M105-3041, which has 512mb of memory, 80gb hard drive, Intel Centrino, and it is not booting up…I am a computer expert myself, and I have beating my head away trying to figure this out, but I keep thinking that it could be something else. I get a blue screen when booting up Vista Basic, so what I did was I pressed f8 and told the pc to start up and not restart after it fails, the blue screen read, that it was not able to write to the memory because of an I/O error. This is my diagnosis, I think that it is the memory stick, I dont think its the right kind, I mean I ran a live cd of linux and it worked perfectly with no flaws, when I opened the memory bay, it had no memory, so I got some memory from another laptop that had roughly the same speed and that was very similar and used that, but it will not boot up windows xp or vista. What do you think is wrong? I think that its because its the wrong memory.

My laptop won’t run the Ubuntu Linux 6.10 (Edgy Eft) live CD. Why won’t it work?

Posted on March 29, 2011 by admin| 1 Comment

My Sony Vaio runs the CD well. So does my dad’s Dell Inspiron. However, my Toshiba Tecra won’t. Instead of going to the screen on boot-up, it continued to run the Windows XP boot up. The ISO was the official one, and I used the official ISO recorder. I made another CD, and its the same problem. My laptop has had issues with many computer games, specifically the classic NVIDEA display problem, but it seems that is unlikely. Maybe it could be caused from interferrence from an ISO mounter. Do I need to set my computer to read the CD before it boots?
