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 With regards Prem

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.

Are you sure your Linux CD is bootable?
Just delete the partitions. Every partition management program gives you the option.
