| 783636 | 2009-06-19 12:18:00 | used imgburn to write linux to a dvdr, changed bios to boot from cdrom but it will not recognize on boot. it goes to a screen displaying: verifying pool data......success then gives the option of load windows2000(which wont complete because of corrupted sys32/config/ or continue windows xp installation which stops because missing hidusb.sys what happened to the linux cd??? |

| 783637 | 2009-06-19 12:27:00 | Use a CDR. Linux SHOULD fit on a cd. WHERE did this XP ISO come from?? Since its an ISO?? The cd-rom youre using, its a dvd burner right? Since you've just burned that ISO to DVD. | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 783638 | 2009-06-19 12:29:00 | Try burning your Linux ISO to a CD rather than a DVD. | Sweep (90) | ||
| 783639 | 2009-06-19 12:52:00 | I presume you did save the change in the BIOS to boot from CD/DVD first then the Hard drive? If you did then I can only assume the ISO is not bootable for some reason. The fact that WinXP loaded some files when you tried it tends to indicate that the XP Cd is bootable but maybe the Linux one is not for some reason that escapes me. |

Booting 'Arch Linux' root (hd0,0) Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83 kernal /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/281d3d67-769a-4ea6-b925-2dcdc28f844a ro [Linux-bzImage, setup=0x3000, size=0x1ad350] initrd /kernal26.img [Linus-initrd @ 0x2ff53000, 0x8c3a7 bytes] Probing EDD (edd=off to disable)... ok Decompressing Linux... crc error -- System halted lol i wonder if someone can read this... 10points for deciphering!! |

| 783641 | 2009-06-19 14:26:00 | Did you burn at the slowest speed? CRC Error indicates data corruption on the kernel image...I would perform an Md5 checksum on it too... |

| 783642 | 2009-06-20 02:01:00 | sure did. just tried again. arg so annoying. just keep getting same error... | caviliar (15021) | ||
| 783643 | 2009-06-20 04:15:00 | You probably have a corrupt download of Linux. Download the Linux.ISO again and after you do so check the checksum with the publisher of the version you have before you burn it to another CD. This is what the CRC problem tells me. |
