Once it reads the disc it says loading and then a bunch of lines come down and it stops there and does not do anything. I tried also installing mandriva but on the loading screen when i select boot the screen stays loading and never stops, the only option it has is pres esc for verbose mode. So its like none of the linux distrubutions are working. Is there anyway you can please help me.
