same for inboard motherboard, you must have the mobo cd. I even had a
config with the cd as /dev/hda and the Hd as /dev/hdb, and XP didn't
see the cd most of the time.
say:
* with with a pre-configured computer no OS should have any problem.
* With a bare computer brand new, chance is you have the windows
drivers thanks to the manufacturer. If you don't have you may never
have them (may be only vista or only XP), not sure if Linux can
install - will probably do with some hand work
* with a not too new computer (say, one year old make, may be new),
Linux installs nearly all without problem, Windows may ask for days of
work if it can.
the main drawback of Linux is new hardware (new printer, new scanner,
new special hardawre): most don't work well.
