Your advice please

thank you for your answer Panda_Man.... I have an addicional question can this be done with RecordNow Plus?...

again thank you

from what i've read you should be able to burn it with recordnow. just instead of making like a data disk, there should be some option to record a disk image and thats what you want to do.

and if all else fails just use alcohol 120%'s trial. its a great app hell its even worth buying.

i'd agree with that statement. although its too bad you can't get k3b for windows.. ^_^ i love the ease it takes to burn iso's with that. my first time doing so i was quite pleased.

ok.. I have image the files and install linux. That Suse looks really nice. Only problem is that I cant find the Linksys wireless usb adapter driver that supports Suse anywhere and my sound card doesnt seem to be supported by suse either... but that is not big deal I can live with that... other than that the Suse beta 2 looks awesome. Thanks for your help guys...

ohh by the way I have a simple question.. I dont know much about partitions, I only know the basics, etc. but here is my question.

can Intall Linux in a hard drive that has XP on it... For example I have a laptop, and Im using the whole hard drive is under the XP partition, Would it be possible for me to install Linux without having to deleted XP first?... I hope I make some sense.

Thank you.

if you only have one big partition with xp on it. you're gonna have to back up the important stuff and delete partition and remake for example an ntfs partition for xp thats takes up half of the harddrive then leave the rest as raw data for whatever linux you want to install.
so yeah your out of luck there but it is very possible to have a harddrive share multiple OS. and you can have it set to where you can choose what OS you want to boot up on boot. if you are interesting in doing such a thing just ask away.

if there was a good portion of free space on the hard drive you could also opt to resize the partition using a program like partition magic or i believe qtparted can resize partitions. qtparted comes on the mepis cd (it boots up as a livecd and then has the option to install it from there, but i think you could just use qtparted from the livecd..) and then theres other iso's you can get with qtparted on it.. here: http://www.thefreecountry.org/utilities ... tors.shtml

but with resizing a partition, there is the possibility that it could become completely corrupted and you'd have to reinstall everything. so backup what you want before trying anything with modifying your partition.
