While attempting to install Linux onto a seperate drive on my XP box the other day I came accross a very odd problem.
Slipped my Fedora DVD into the drive and rebooted just fine.
The opening screen loads without a problem but then it fails to read from that drive again. Same problem applies with Mandriva and Gentoo.
System configuration is basically the same as when I built it 12 months ago.
So I obviously got XP to install by booting from DVD.
Any suggestions?
