Hey,
What is the smallest version of Linux I could download? Is there a version which is around 100 - 200 MB's in size and is easy to use.
Thanks,
James

OK, some Linux errors can be quite cryptic, but they have some reference towards where the error stemmed from so you can narrow it down and resolve the issue.
Mode - Do you have Nero at all?

I tried that software and it comes up with the following error(s):
Executing power calibration...
?: I/O error. : scsi sendcmd: retryable error
CDB: 54 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00

Sense Bytes: 70 00 03 00 00 00 00 0C 00 00 00 00 73 03

Sense flags: Blk 0 (not valid)
cmd finished after 38.388s timeout 180s
ERROR: Power calibration failed.
ERROR: Use option --force to ignore this error.
ERROR: Writing failed.
'Power Calibration' - is that anything to do with the power supply to the cd-rw?
If someone could help me, that would be great.

No, you will need special software to extract the image. Most if not all CD burning packages can do it - if not, burnatonce ([URL]http://www.burnatonce.com/[/URL]) can.

Ok, I have an ISO image file - do I need to use specialised software to burn this to disc or do I just burn it to disk by dragging it into my CDRW folder?

I understand your general point, really bad example though. :)

If you're dedicating that entire drive, then 5GB is ample for all but the largest Linux installations.

Yes but, like I said before, Windows never really tells you anything when an error occurs.
" has caused an illegal operation"
How is anyone supposed to understand that? Yes, it says the program has just errored out, but it doesn't mention where the problem occurs or anything similar.

I've got an old 5GB harddrive, so I thought I would put it to use and shove a distro of linux on it.

I've got an old 5GB harddrive, so I thought I would put it to use and shove a distro of linux on it.

That's a common misconception. However, since more isntances of errors occur in indows, it's actually more support available. That, and it';s easier to find.

That's a common misconception. However, since more isntances of errors occur in indows, it's actually more support available. That, and it';s easier to find.
