ok so i installed Fedora Core 3 only to find out i didn’t really like it that much. the reason why is because it uses shadow video mode from the bios which means a tiny screen. also i can’t use my linksys wireless card. now for some reason my cd drive doesn’t work. i can’t load up hirens boot cd or any windows installation disk or even kanotix. so i was thinking maybe my cd rom drive has failed. if so there must be a software utility that exist that will let me install an operating system from a USB DVD Rom Drive. i just need a little help. any help would be greatly appreciated
thanks
Just install a new internal DVD ROM drive if its broke.
Most computers can’t boot from USB check your computers specks to see if yours can.
If you have a firewire (IEEE 1394) port you can get a Firewire external DVD burner that you can boot from though.
