*Problem with Loading Linux*
I profess my ignorance when it comes to computer complexities, although
I do teach other “oldies” how to use computers.
I am having problems loading Linux onto one of my computers. I purchased
a new computer and decided to dual boot the old computer to use to
receive emails etc. on the Linux OS. I cannot get it to work. I have
dual booted other computers; My new computer and the laptop have Win XP
and SUSE Linux. I have resurrected a Celeron 700 and installed Ubuntu on
one drive and Win Me and SUSE on the other drive
On the problem computer, I now cannot even install Linux as a stand
alone OS. Ubuntu stops loading early, SUSE appears to load but will not
start The Linux loader will allow me to select windows which will boot
successfully, but the Linux will not complete the boot up. At one stage
even the Windows would not boot and I had to invoke the”FIXMBR” command
from windows recovery, I suspect this may have contributed to my
problem, Any suggestions?
Regards,
Mervyn Crawford
