In Win7:
Right-click on Computer --> Properties --> Advanced System Settings --> (Startup and Recovery) Settings --> Adjust the OSs / Time to display there

1300292 2012-09-13 06:01:00 So just make it 0 seconds? Nick G (16709)
1300293 2012-09-13 06:54:00 Ok, cheers Chill, that works. Next issue that stumps me - I burned the ISO of linux mint to a DVD, put it in my drive, restarted, went into bios, set it to boot to the dvd. Got a message when trying to boot saying something like insert valid media to continue. Where have I gone wrong here? Nick G (16709)
1300294 2012-09-13 07:13:00 You've burned the ISO to DVD as a file, rather than burning it as an image. In windows, how many files are there?

You need to use something like imgburn in windows to burn the disc

Perhaps, or the disk was crap or burned too fast etc

Just the one file, a 906,200kb ISO file. Will format it, and try again using imgburn

1300297 2012-09-13 07:34:00 if you have the space on a flash drive, burn it to that for install. will likely be faster than a cd/dvd.

edit - plus saves you a disc.

Exactly, so I'm on the money. You need to use something like Imgburn... then it'll work :-)

1300300 2012-09-13 07:49:00 next problem.
starts to work, I get a grey background that says linux mint, but then get this 'invalid or corrupt kernel'
