I had a laptop on which Fedora Core 3 was installed. We then went to put Windows XP on it. The Windows CD would start to boot, then the screen would go blank and the machine would freeze. Knoppix would boot just fine. Thinking we had a bad CD, we tried several different Windows CDs. No luck. Thinking it might be the BIOS, we upgraded the BIOS. No luck. What eventually worked was to remove all partitions from the harddrive. Once we did that, the Windows CD would boot and we were able to install just fine.
Conclusion 1: Linux breaks computers. ;) Conclusion 2: Install Windows first and then Linux. Regards, - Robert http://www.cwelug.org/downloads Help others get OpenSource software.
