- daniel-cussen 19y agoNow I'm getting a message that says 1. HD System Type-(00) Missing operating system Crap.
- sadiq 19y agohttp://goodbye-microsoft.com/ http://goodbye-microsoft.com/ is your friend. It lets you install Debian from within Windows (and is different from wubi, as it does a proper install).
- daniel-cussen 19y agoI'm trying this. I get a window that asks me if I want to load Windows XP or Debian Installer. If I choose Debian Installer, it says welcome to grub, and then nothing happens for a while and I get the starting screen again.
- Tichy 19y agoSounds as if it still not booting from CD. Actually with the Ubuntu CD, the Ubuntu Live System could come up first (without you doing anything). Does that happen?
- daniel-cussen 19y agoNo.
- hhm 19y agoDaniel, your problem is the way you are burning the iso. You are burning it as a file, while you have to burn it as a image file. Read this: http://www.petri.co.il/how_to_write_iso_files_to_cd.htm http://www.petri.co.il/how_to_write_iso_files_to_cd.htm I think this'll put an end to your problems.
- hhm 19y ago(I know you've been told this before, but that's why you get that message. Your computer can't boot from the cd unless you burn it properly, and burning the iso as a file won't work even if it seems reasonable.)
- imgabe 19y agoI'm going to go off of everyone else's diagnoses that the ISO is not being properly burnt. If this is indeed the case, Ubuntu has some very clear directions for burning the ISO to disc. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto Hope that helps. Also, if you still can't burn the CD for some reason, Ubuntu will ship you a CD for free. http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu
