Hi All,

I have converted F: and G: into linux ext2 by using parition magic tool. Then i tryed to reboot the machine from the cd i dont start from CD it went straight into windows. I am missing some of the steps to perform here. Kindly suggestion me to steps.. Thanks in advance

You forgot to tell your machine to boot from the CD. See the BIOS setup.

Also, it is better to just delete the partitions and let the Linux installer to recreate them when you install.

Hi,

I pressed F8 when rebooting my machine which gives me the option to boot from cd-rom when I press enter it boots windows. Kindly help me. Tell me whether to how to unpartioned the space

Are you sure your Linux CD is bootable?

Just delete the partitions. Every partition management program gives you the option.

yes, The Cd is bootable. I will try it after deleting the parition
