Hi friend! You are very welcome. Let us know how things go. Some times it's better to wait for our minds to clear.(y)
Tomorrow sounds good.

Another run-from-media choice for Linux is Knoppix. I got the CD, but you can download and burn your own copy.

Boot from the CD and the system self-configures to your hardware

Thanks, but since my last post, I have been unable to get it to go into ANY boot order.GRRR

Hi! If you can't boot from the flash you created, Try @jobeard suggestion and create CD.
We all have our preferences. I have a old version of UBUNTU 14.04.3. It does all I need it to do.

Please describe how you're trying to get into boot order.

Did you read the post before yours? I cannot get it to boot into ANY thing. I have tried Esc,f1,f2,f3 & so on.

It tells me to push or repeatedly tap a key. I've done so numerous times. Yes, I have been googling all morning.

PS All PCs are different. What make and model do you have?

 

[learninmypc]

What now?

Hi Well I see you have a HP logo on your monitor. I have asked you several times what brand and model.

I posted a link about HP and boot options. If you have a HP, that's all I need!

System model? snc302eeh , brand? is that same as system name? WINXPBE-152403

 

[holdum323]

Hi I have no idea. I suggest you Google "How do I find my make and model" This can't be that hard.

That is exactly how I got the info you're looking at. It told me to go to system info which showed more than that but I don't feel comfortable posting ALL the info it shoows.

 

[holdum323]

Ok IDK . Good luck!

 

[learninmypc]

Besides make what might/could it be called? The system model shown above is correct, I just need to find/know what make is

 

[holdum323]

[learninmypc]

Thanks.

 

[holdum323]

That's the best I can do!

 

[learninmypc]

Understood.

Hi. As you can see in my above reply. That brand is no longer supported. What is it that you're trying to do? I thought you were trying to run a Linux system on it. Have you ever been able to change the boot options?
