Your comment Colin. <pre wrap="">"You should plug in the CD and then switch the computer on, it should then boot off the CD. Is it doing that or is it booting into Windows? If it does not boot off the CD then you need to go into the BIOS settings on the PC and set it to boot off the CD." <big>The CDs would not boot. It is a new and good(meaning nothing wrong with Drive) Hard Drive without any system on it. CDS flatly refused to boot. The Mandrake booted ok but has missing files so can not install. (it is a very old system) Have been given another boot up install CD of Ubuntu 11.4 to try and see if it works. </big>Robyn </pre> On 23/07/2011 08:45, Colin Law wrote: <blockquote cite="mid:CAL=0gLuW10zh0NLrVAXNxDaXad65dLNKC_n+vdZM2vDo7k4oNw@mail.gmail.com" type="cite"> <pre wrap="">On 22 July 2011 04:47, Dragonplace <a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="mailto:dragonplace@clear.net.nz"><dragonplace@clear.net.nz></a> wrote: </pre> <blockquote type="cite"> <pre wrap="">Hi Colin, Thank YOU for repling. </pre> </blockquote> <pre wrap=""> Did you realise that you replied to me personally rather than to the list? </pre> <blockquote type="cite"> <pre wrap="">I brought the June 2011 issue of PC World as it has Ubuntu 11.04 on it.
