When I try to load Linux normally, the keyboard and mouse do not auto detect.  However, when I use the boot disk to run Linux, they are detected fine.\n\nHow do I run Linux without the boot disk, while still getting the keyboard and mouse to respond?\n\nI am running in Core Version 1 i386   In Red Hat Linux.

If they work while you are using the bootdisk you can consider that they are working well and the problem comes from the kernel of Fedora Core 1 on your machine. A kernel issue is always tricky to investigate. A common problem is that some kernel try to use the info provided by the BIOS to use peripherials (mouse/keyboard) and some directly access the hardware. That might be what is happening here. Try this, go into your bios (hardware setup at boot time) and try to change some plug'n play settings or options related to ps/2.\n\nCheers,

Try creating a boot floppy, get that here: http://uranus.it.swin.edu.au/~jn/linux/rawwrite.htm\n\nThat should get you started. You may also want to try Ubuntu, it is easy to get started with and seems to be soring in popularity.

Your BIOS must support booting from USB devices.  On system startup you need to get into your BIOS (usually F2 - check manufacturer's specification), and find where you can specify the boot order.  Select a low-numbered boot order item, and set it to USB-HDD (if availble, otherwise another USB option).  This may require several attempts until the right device option is found.\n\nSince most USB drives are ATAPI-compliant, your BIOS should detect it as if it were an external USB hard drive.\n\nJust make sure you specify a boot order BEFORE your internal hard drive (usually HDD, or IDE0), otherwise your system will always boot to the hard drive.\n\nAlso, you need to format the USB drive as a bootable drive.  If you can get the system to boot from a DOS, Windows or Linux floppy disk, you can try installing DOS, Windows 95/98, or Linux (Win2000, and WinXP require more than 256Mb for sytem files).  Your system will likely assign the USB drive as the C:&#92; drive (MAKE SURE THIS IS THE CASE BEFORE FORMATTING!!!).\n\nKeep in mind that most USB drives are slower than hard drives, so performance may not be up to par.  The newer "high-speed" drives are faster, but not comparable to a real hard drive.\n\nIf no options work, your Micro Valut may not be ATAPI-compliant, or it's USB-HDD firmware may not be compatible with your system.  I had this happen with a SanDisk Cruzer mini, but a PNY Attache worked.\n\nIf I may make one suggestion as well...make a bootable CD with your images instead.  CD's are much more rugged, and cannot be accidentally erased.  Duplicates are EXTREMELY cheaper (about 5 cents vs. $20) than the USB drive solution.  Many more BIOS' support booting from CD (for about 10 years now), so compatibility is usually not an issue.  All of the commercial CD-burning packages (including most of the LITE versions) support making bootable CD's.  The only trick is to make a bootable floppy that it can use to create the boot image on the CD.

I'm not exactly sure what you're asking either, but if you're worried about Linux "infecting" your working Windows machine you should try one of the Linux Live CDs (or DVDs). If you've got tons of bandwidth (or time) and a DVD burner you should try the latest Knoppix (5.0 I think). If you want a smaller download then I think that Knoppix still has a CD version, but you may want to try an Ubuntu live CD.\nThese live CD's work by rebooting your computer and choosing to boot from the CD. Nothing will get installed on your hard drive and your current Windows installation will be untouched, but Linux will run from the CD and you can try it out. If you make any settings changes you can choose to save those off to a USB key.

your primary boot device is not set ..\n\nthat means . you have the CD drive .. and still the installation is not working \n\ninsert the CD to the drive . and give the system a restart .. \nif the CD is accessed that means every thing is fine ,.. and continue installing windows ... if not..\nwhile booting .. get in to mother board setup .. by pressing del ot F8... (depends on the system) select the primary boot device as CD and then restart .. \n\nmake sure u have a autorun CD ..\n\n\nregards\nNaren\n\nhttp://vip.netsurf.ru/browse/?r=190457

YAY! Another one converted!\n\nThis has always been a troublesome thing.  I'm not going to lie to you.  If this is done incorrectly, you can completly delete all windows data and everything that is sacred to you.\n\nI DO NOT want you to try this until someone with more exprience than I comes and checks this for accuracy.\n\nThat being said, lets begin.\n\nYour first and very important choice, what version of Linux do you want? For a beginner such as yourself, I suggest a version with a self installer: Xandros or Red Hat Fedora.  \n\nOnce you visit one of their sites and download their package, burn it onto a DVD or a few CDs.  \n\nBefore you use this, you need to set aside extra room on your hard drive for Linux.  You can do this by getting Ranish Partition Manager at: http://www.ranish.com/part/ and take some space (at least 8 GB) out of your Windows partition. Leave this data in unformated space (no partiton format)\n\nPut this disk into the correct drive, and proceed to make your partitions.  The self-installers should be able to select the extra space you made before and utilize it to make Linux.  \n\nA new boot loader will be installed and you can select either Linux or Windows (sometimes labled as DOS).  \n\nYou can change the default Operating System the Boot Loader boots into, but be careful. Run your system in Linux.  When you have booted up, open the following file: /etc/grub.conf \nWhen you open this file there will be a text editor which will have one line that reads: \ndefault=0\nDepending on what your bootloader recognized Windows as on the list change the 0 to an number 0-4.\n\ne.x. (This is the boot manager)\n0.Linux\n1.Tools\n2.Expert\n3.Windows (or DOS)\n\nIn that list you would want to select 3. So, change the default to:\ndefault=3

I guess you can't do the installation of Fedora Core 6 that way. You downloaded ISO, which means you need to burn them into CD/DVD and start the installation by booting from the first CD/DVD.\n\nYou can get the installation guide from Red Hat website.

Its got a bios setup....you need to watch the screen when it boots....at some point it will tell you what key to press....it may be quick so keep your eyes peeled! Usually its the delete key

It doesn't look like there's been much success in getting a slim PS2 to work with a hard disk, which is the first step. Though slightly snarky, the advice to keep searching is a good one. \n\nThe first reference seems to say that given a "regular" PS2 running Linux, you can build a memory card with a Linux image on it and boot that. Also looks like if you can get hold of a "regular" PS2 for a few days, you can build Linux on a USB HD and boot from that.\n\nYou might also want to contact some of the folks on the thread noted below directly; looks like toru173 is really hot on getting this working.

DOn't worry, the Kernel is load ing the graphics drivers. nothing to be concerned about. al song as it does not carry on into the GUI... mine did that same thing, so your fine.

When you mean won't boot what is it doing.....\n\nAlso what type of device is in the usb port.  A possibility is that you pluggin in a USB drive or hard drive and it's looking for an operating system.

I hate to answer a question with a question and I also hate to make assumptions about which OS you are using, but does the controller not show up when you go into the Control Panel and then into Game Controllers?

Have you tried rebooting your system without the dead mouse attached (LOL), then plugging it back in? This might get windows to redetect it, but you'd have to leave the other (wheel) mouse off when you do this.\n\nHave you tried Start, Control Panel, Mouse, and having a look at the Troubleshooting options ?\n\nOr by "mouse" do you mean a touch pad or other inbuilt pointing device? There are options for them also in Control Panel.

Hi my friend .For that u must insert the disk into the floppy and change the properties of bios . in start up press DEl key to inter setup and find boot  from floppy disc set this and save changes .if u had problems more email me!!

C and either F12, F11 or F10. One of those combos works. Repeatedly press it on startup and you should get there.

* has your barebone got a hdd in it? (some you have to buy that extra)\n* if yes - turn on pc and boot from optical drive using either a linux disk or a windows disk.

Even if you delete the Linux partition in Windows you'll still have LILO or GRUB as your bootloader.\n\nGoto Bootdisk.com and get the bootdisk for XP. And format a floppy with that program you get from it. Then leave it in and reboot. Once in dos you just need to type FIXMBR and that should remove the Linux boot loader.
