linux live cd boot problem?

my linux live cd’s work completelly fine, but when i turn the computor off , turn it back on , then quickly take out the cd so windows, instead of linux , boots , it commes to this black screen that sais something like “windows has required a problem booting , what should it do?”

i press last working configuration and it boots windows…. but as it boots it starts this annoying whirring sound

i restarted the pc, hoping to god that i didnt kill my moms pc, like the day before

($150 down the drain)

and it booted normally

this really scared me because the whole thing was exactly what happend when the pc crached a few days before

i think it crashed a few days ago from the fact that i installed linux (ubuntu fiesty) via wubi on the hard drive… i thought the live cd didnt interact with the hard drive

please help…tell me if i should stop using live cd’s , why , and , if possible, and tell me an alternate way to boot linux wothout in any way interactingwiththe drive

Ubuntu Linux on Dell Dimension 2400?

Can ubuntu linux 7.10 work on a dimension 2400 with:
Intel 82845g gl ge pe gv graphics card
512mb ram
and soundmax integrated digital audio
2.2 ghz processor?
I have tried using the live cd on another computer, and it works just fine. it has slower ram and processor, but a better graphics card. on the 2400, I have checked the bios for booting with cd, it can, but after i select start or install ubuntu, it does the loading thing, then to the dos-looking page, with some error like an i/o error. it says that twice, then the monitor shuts off. it’s not the monitor, i’m sure. if someone can help me get the live cd working, that would be a big help. any questions for more detail s feel free to ask.

I cant move my mouse or type?

Recently, I when I was logged on, my mouse stopped working. Thinking nothing of it (I have a wireless keyboard/mouse), I unplugged the receiver, and tried to re-connect the keyboard/mouse. However, I still couldn’t move the mouse/keyboard. So I tried a corded keyboard/mouse (using PS2) and it still wouldn’t work. I’ve tried rebooting, and it still wont work (I’m using a different computer right now). However, I know that the keyboard/mouse/hardware isn’t defective because I was able to boot onto Ubuntu (Linux) via a live CD, and everything worked just fine (keyboard/mouse). Regardless, I still can’t get into Vista…I get stuck at the log-on screen (I’ve got a password, and safe mode doesn’t work). My only method of input is a media center remote (plugs into USB … but that only ‘types’ numbers (which do, however, appear). I’ve got absolutely no idea what to do.

Do I need a separate Linux partition to use a Live CD and make my wireless card work if it doesn’t auto detect

Also is there a way to save files to my windows partition when I’m using a Live Linux CD?
