MageUK Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 You did burn the image using a tool for image burning didn't you? You didn't just burn the actual ISO file to a disc? :P Make sure to use a program like Nero to "Burn Image" to disc. If you can choose the "Boot from CD" option in your BIOS (I think you have it), then you got that part right, you need to just fix the disc.

Chris Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 I don't care how simple Ubuntu is now... If you can't burn an ISO to a CD you shouldn't touch Linux in any shape or form. :? Just keep using Windows. If anyone else in your family uses that particular computer they'll be just as lost as you too. Learning how to use different and sometimes multiple applications to do the same thing as you would do in Windows is just a waste of time. Also... Gaming, you're pretty much giving it all up unless you can install WINE or dual-boot with XP, which sorta defeats the purpose of installing Linux in the first place. If you're just trying it out, sure go ahead. I'm all for learning new things, but if you use your computer for anything semi-serious you'll be back to Windows within a month. :P Notoriously Trollish.

Errdoth Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 What is the make/model of your wireless card. You can try going to it's manufactures site (on the pc that has internet, or you could plug the one with ubuntu into a good 'ol hard ethernet line), and seeing if any linux drivers are available.

Bac_Talan Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 For running Windows wireless drivers on Ubuntu, you should try NDISWrapper. It's made specifically for this. I once shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die.Pics or it didn't happen. I hate my generation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
