OK got a new compaq presario laptop with free dos pre-installed. I formatted the hard drive (format c: y) and went with on with MS Vista Installation and the message I get is "cannot find bootable device...".
So I tried to install ubuntu linux 6.06 - it fared better - but at the end it ends up displaying "uncompressing linux...ok. booting the kernel" with a cursor blinking at the bottom. And it stays there indefinitely.
The Hard drive is SATA...
What could be the way out of this?
The details of the laptop are:
160GB Hard Disk
1GB of RAM
Has capability of Floppy/ USB Booting..
Thanks.
