Unable to format suse Linux

Hello All,

I am new to use linux. I installed SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 (x86_64) trail version which is free for 60 days.

Now I want to again format the whole system and install the same OS again but its not happening.

I am trying with a bootable pen drive which has an .iso image of suse linux os and when I try to go into BIOS it doesn't even go to the BIOS. I have been spinning my head around this thing for the past whole week but still unsuccessful. It says something like ELILO boot and gives options but still finally loads the previous OS. Even when I press F2 to goto setup it says elilo boot and F12 for multi boot option it gives me the same thing. I also tried to directly launch the iso file from directory but it says autorun not found. I tried installing windows in this but to no use the same thing happens. Again I am trying with use linux but still nothing.

Kindly help me in this situation as to what to do I have tried almost everything.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

NAME
Linux::Distribution - Perl extension to detect on which Linux distribution we are running. SYNOPSIS
use Linux::Distribution qw(distribution_name distribution_version); if(my $distro = distribution_name) { my $version = distribution_version(); print "you are running $distro, version $version "; } else { print "distribution unknown "; } Or else do it OO: use Linux::Distribution qw(distribution_name distribution_version); my $linux = Linux::Distribution->new; if(my $distro = $linux->distribution_name()) { my $version = $linux->distribution_version(); print "you are running $distro, version $version "; } else { print "distribution unknown "; } DESCRIPTION
This is a simple module that tries to guess on what linux distribution we are running by looking for release's files in /etc. It now looks for 'lsb-release' first as that should be the most correct and adds ubuntu support. Secondly, it will look for the distro specific files. It currently recognizes slackware, debian, suse, fedora, redhat, turbolinux, yellowdog, knoppix, mandrake, conectiva, immunix, tinysofa, va-linux, trustix, adamantix, yoper, arch-linux, libranet, gentoo, ubuntu, scientific, oracle enterprise linux and redflag. It has function to get the version for debian, suse, fedora, redhat, gentoo, slackware, scientific, oracle enterprise linux, redflag and ubuntu(lsb). People running unsupported distro's are greatly encouraged to submit patches :-) EXPORT None by default. TODO
Add the capability of recognize the version of the distribution for all recognized distributions. AUTHORS
