I am currently trying to install DSL on my 13 year old Gateway 2000 with:
100 Mhz Pentium Processor
64 MB RAM
6x CD Drive
3 1/2" Floppy Drive
6.4 GB Hard Drive
It currently has Windows 98.
I made a boot disk and when i placed it in the drive and restarted, it froze in the bios and made a beeping sound every 5 seconds.
what do you think is the problem and how can i fix it?
i want to completely remove windows.
Thanks
hi,
what bios do you have?
you need to go to the bios maker homepage(if ever the bios maker does care about that bios anymore as its a very old one) and check the bios beep code to see what the error is
i figured out the problem, turns out my boot floppy was bad but so was my cd.
so i'm going to try and run ubuntu on it
How did you burn CD? .iso images are bootable by default. Select Burn Image to Disk option in your CD Burner package. Do not create bootable CD.
i burned the cd by using iso burner
my BIOS didnt support the use of CDROM to run an OS from
