| 63727 | 2002-07-20 03:35:00 | u can do this quite simply by starting the computer and accesing bios by pressing the delete key just at the screen before where ur hdd and cr drives r detected, then enter the cmos setting (i think, can't remember ) then set ur first boot up hdd to the drive u want. hope that helped. cheers, v.K-------- :D |

| 63728 | 2002-07-20 03:40:00 | Is the CD booting at all? If not, which I think is the case, you will need to use your BIOS setup to make the CD drive the first (or second) boot device, before the hard disk . Once you have the installer started, it will know how to handle things from there on . If your computer is old enough that it can't boot from a CD, there is "probably" a way to make a bootable floppy which will install Linux for you . Have a look at the README, etc files on the CD . It will be accessible from Windows . |
