My question is, I have Windows XP installed - as this was the OS that came with the laptop. I have tried serveral times to install Linux 8.0 on the system, which install correctly but will never boot to that partition.
I have tried to different versions of Knoppix, which boot in my dell desktop just fine. These CD's will not boot either, I never even get the penguin at the begining where it starts processing. I just get a blank screen and it just sits there.
Just wondered if anyone has any suggestions about this and what I can do, I would like to have Linux or at the very least knoppix to run on my laptop. I can't figure out why it won't.
