For some reason, when I went to a dual boot system, my laptop's wireless
stopped working, and booting from a CD stopped as well. All I get is
the GRUB screen to choose between Ubuntu and Vista. With OSs on the
system, I do not have more than 15 gig for Ubuntu 10.xx and 30 gig for
Vista.
My bios is set for CD/DVD before hard drive booting.
Now all I need to do is find out how to make sure Ubuntu/Kubuntu would
boot to my monitors resolution [1368x768] instead of the maximum that
the on board nVidia graphics can do [1920x1080]. I may just wait till I
get my new monitor, in a few months.
Before I had to make the Vista laptop dual boot, I had no problems with
seeing the "live" CD/DVDs. That is how I first chose Ubuntu out of the
pack. It was the only one that worked in "live mode" with the old HP
laptop's sound card. That was version 9.xx. Hopefully I will get that
one back from a loan out soon. Then I can just dump the dual booting on
the Vista machine. It is due for a wipe and re-install. Now that I do
not use it to store my data on, I can do that with ease.
As for Unity 3D, I think my on board video can handle it, but I will not
want to use Unity. After the monitor purchase, I will be buying a GPU
video card, ATI 4850 or better. It will be about the same cost as the
monitor, but give me GPU computing for my BOINC number crunching and do
about 100 times the amount of crunching as my Phenom 9650 quad CPU gives me.

Hi :)
This guide might help
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootFromCD
Even though it is written for Ubuntu it is almost identical for other distros
as usual ;)
When you try to boot an Ubuntu Cd it gives you a pop=-up screen with a language
selector and 2 buttons
1. Try Ubuntu (this often doesn't work and just hangs the system)
2. Install Ubuntu (has lots of "Back" buttons)
Soi click on the "Install" and then at click on the "Back" buttons until i get back to
that screen with the language selector and the 2 options. Now the "Try Ubuntu" button works! I
keep forgetting to post a bug-report about it.

In your BIOS, make sure when you are
booting that it is checking you CD/DVD drives before your
hard drive. I needed to do this and change the boot order so
I could preview and also install 11.10.

It keeps going to GRUB. When I choose Win Vista, it
does not boot from the CD then. So I cannot see what
11.10 looks like. Since it wants to boot at 1920 by
1080 [nVidia MoB graphics] and my monitor max out at 1368 by
768, it causes problems.
I still will use GNOME/KDE combo for my desktop and
packages.
