Help with installing Debain!!! Please!!!!
Ok my CD drive is busted so i cant install anything off a CD (i only have an external one and it wont help during installs (plus i have no blank CDs). Alough it would be great if i could get linux installed from a usb drive (or even floppys).
Now when i run http://goodbye-microsoft.com/ its goes thro everything and then needs to restart to begin. When it restarts i choose the debian installer but it says some crap like 'Errror not all GRLDR devices found' or something and makes me restart.....
Whats going on?

That is a relatively new project and is therefore prone to errors. You may want to look into buying a cheap cdrom to complete the installation (plus, you will probably want one afterwards).
Looking for a distro? Look here.

You could always try using floppies or a usb flash drive:
4.3. Creating Floppies from Disk Images

Or you could try:
Instlux: Upgrade your windows
http://instlux.sourceforge.net/
Which is similar to the good-bye installer.
Probably wouldn't hurt to look at the Ubuntu project that is where the idea for the good-by project came from:
