I have been trying to load Linux Mint onto an old Dell machine today without much success. I got the PC to boot to disc - fine!

Linux loaded and i heard the 'done' music but the screen was blank. Tried everything but to no avail. so i shut the machine down by holding in the on/off button and re started with the linux disc in the CD tray and all i get is:

X300 SE 128MB Bios P/N 113-A33406-100

it wont boot to the bios or anything!!!!

I don't mind if i have to format the disc as i have the Dell install disc and Linux to try!

Any ideas peeps????

Many thanks in advance
 
Ignore this post...I'm a dufus!!! :lol: I have just figured out whats wrong!
 
There is nothing worse on internet forums that threads where people post a question, find the solution and then not bother to tell anyone what that solution which could help others.
 
:lol::lol: No, It was the fact that i was fiddling with the jumpers on the back of the CD Drives and didn't put them back in the right place, i thought i had but i had not.... D'oh! :cuckoo::nuts:
