As a guess, I would think you would have to boot from the cd - not just put it in while in XP. Without the instructions, it would be hard to say what you are suppose to do.
Ok, booting from the CD did work so thank you for that. I ran into another problem that maybe you can help with. As I was following the steps to download Linux (Fedora), I came to a section about partitioning. The options were to choose "automatic partitioning" or "manual"
Since I do not know anything about partitioning, I selected "automatic"
when I clicked "next" the following options appeared.
1. Remove all linux partitions on the system
2. Remove all the partitions on this system
3. Keep all partitions and use existing free space ... This is the option I chose and the resulting message was that it could not allocate required partitions, partitioning failed. This usually happens when you do not have enough hard drive space.
When I selected choice (2) the message came up and said that partitions being used by other operating systems would be removed ( or a similar message on that order)
I clicked "next" and this page had information about boot chargers or something that I would need to have a password to sign into and be able to use my other operating system (xp) This page contained more information that I understand.
If I continue with this option I think I will be lost and not have any clue what to do or how to access windows.
Any advice? Thanks again
