Linux not booting

Expand Post »
I downloaded Morphix which was supposed to give me an idea of Linux. I downloaded an iso file. Then I had a virtual drive so I mounted it on that. I used Nero and burnt all the files to a rewritable cd.

When I restart the pc (with the CD inside) I get "Boot from CD: " it stays there for 10 seconds and then i get Win XP(booting from my HDD) not Linux.

Re: Linux not booting

No Idea what Morphix is.. but chances are you wanted to boot to the CD

Make sure Morphix is livecd and not a version of linux that will install itself to your pc if thats not what you want.
