Thanks for the reply. I have just booted an old Ubuntu live CD.
I will try the install version now.

*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?

Mervyn Crawford
