I tried to put ubuntu 10.8 on my pen drive 3 times. and it says “No OS” at boot. ive done my research and saw that i wasnt the only one with this problem
does anyone know a good linux that will boot off of a pen drive?
Im new to linux, i enjoyed Ubuntu’s live CD tho, but i need a bootable pen drive
Im having a little trouble with windows. I just logged on today and it was crashing and lagging and nothing would open. I couldn’t even shutdown the computer without pulling the battery.Right now im on a Live CD of Linux because i cant even open my browser without it crashing. I have went into safe mode and ran spyware tests and virus tests but all i had was spyware and deleted that all (which didn’t help. I have tryed Checking C: for errors but i had no errors.
My specs are:
2.4ghz AMD 64-bit Processer
2GIG of RAM
70GIG HDD
WIndows XP Media Center Edition

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?

I want to know which distro of Linux I should load on it. I have tried openSUSE live CD, Ubuntu 7.10 live CD, Fedora Core live cd, and the Ubuntu 6.04 Dapper Drake LTS live CD which is the only one that worked. The ubuntu server 7.10 froze at 21 percent twice with 2 different downloads and cd’s, and so did the Ubuntu 7.10 alternate. I am currently trying the opensuse non live cd. I just want to use it as a file server and to browse the web and stuff like that. It has 2 933mhz prosessors, and 1 gb of memory. Thanks in advance!

I’m trying to get Linux Ubuntu 6.10 “Edgy Eft” running, but the live CD won’t even work. Ive tried trouble shooting like downloading a new ISO, making a new copy, using a one hundred percent workable ISO recorder, and changing the BIOS.
The first issue was it didn’t even attempt to start. I fixed it by changing the bios to boot up from a disk drive first. That worked, and I was able to get to the “root boot-up” screen.
The ther was a second issue. The disk defect thing worked perfect, detected no errors. However, even in safe graphics mode, something caused it to go massively wrong. I thought my laptop turned into an expensive paperweight! Turns out that it wasn’t a linux or LCD screen problem, or linux, but rather the laptop itself. The CD works on all computers ‘cept for mine.
Heres a link (WARNING: Takes a while at 3:14 mins [hey, thats pi!] and the good part is the last few seconds) http://youtube.com/watch?v=ADhc4VWkGFE
I haven’t ran the memory check yet, but im sure thats not the problem.
