Can't Load DVD ISO To Hard Drive

I get kernel panics and computer shut down when trying to install and run Linux Mint 17 Mate and Linux Mint 17.1 on an older HP laptop. The laptop is a Pavilion dv 5140 with 2.0GHz AMD Turion chip, 2.0 Gigs ram and 120GB hard drive. Linux is the only software installed on the computer. Yet, I think my problem is probably related to the hardware? Does anyone have any suggestions or experience with this situation? Thank you.

Hi Everyone,

We are using Dell Power Edge R510 server as a central storage in Linux network. I have configured RAID6 on 10 near-line SAS hard disks. Using NFS i have exported one directory and mounted it on other machines.

Recently we are facing one problem, when anyone read/write big file (2-3GB)from NFS drive,others feel very slow access to that drive. Sometime we can't open simple text file till complete read/write process.

I have remounted NFS drive but still problem as it is.

Can anyone help me to solve this problem.

I downloaded Mint 15 - MATE and made an iso image DVD disk. Then rebooted with DVD in drive. The followinh happened
Splash screen with Linux Mint on
Then Automatic boot in 9, 8, 7 etc secs
Then Linus Mint 15 in Courier with 4 dots underneath
After 2/3 mins screen turned black, covered in white U letters with Welcome to Linux in background
Then wide red and black horizontal bands
Then a more graphic screen with 2 Linux Mint logos on green and white bands, top one a bit fuzzy. Cursor has a red box around it. Icons for Computer, Mint Home and Install Linux mint 'ghosted' with background showing through
Firefox loads, again ghosted, but cannot access internet even though wifi light lit on computer.

Computer is Fujitsu Seimens Amilo L7320 1.7 GHz and 960 RAM

What is going wrong?

Want to try Linux as computer freezes in Windows XP after about 20 mins.

Help appreciated.

Hi I am taking a Linux class at my local community college, I have a laptop that I would like to use but don't want to delete the entire window OS. I have a usb harddrive that I can use at least 200GB off the hard drive. For class we are using "a practical guide to Fedora and Red Hat Enterprise Linux,which gives you a copy of Fedora 19. I have tried to load the disk onto the usb hard drive I which is no problem until I reboot. I get a "can not find tocblock. database may be corrupt" then feodra loads with no problem. I can login but after logging in the GNOME welcome page shows up and after that the video screen goes haywire and you cant see anything. any thougts?

I am installing Linuc Mint Rebecca on this computer: CPU: I7, motherboard: ASUS X99-A, HD: 2x 2TB, motherboard BIOS RAID1, so the total hard drive size is 2TB

While I was installing LINUX MINT on RAID1 hard drive, the installation system pop up ??? ???windows at Wher Are You step, after I click OK, jump to Installation Type, no matter which type I select: Erase disk and install Linux Mint or Someting else, ??? error message pop up at Where are you.

And if I click either of the two disk, it shows "Unable to mount location"

however, I can double click and see the content of RAID1 2TB disk.

Question: what's the problem of LINUX MINT installation on RAID1?

Hello

My harddrive on my home server computer seems to have corrupted, likly due to some recent power outtages (using it as a home nas, game server, nothing important really)...
It was previously running windows 7 because I took the harddrive from my old computer, but now as I have to format it anyway I might as well do it right.

Since my server does not have a CD drive (that works) I am hoping for a way to intall Debian onto the harddrive from my main computer (running windows 8).
I have plugged it in, and the drive seems fully functional.

I'm not very skilled with Linux, and am completely on bare ground. My googling has not come up with an answer that I have understood yet.

TL;DR - How do i install Debian onto a secondary harddrive plugged into my computer take this drive and put it into another computer and boot from it?

No mouse pointer on loading Mint 17 onto new build computer: Asus A88XM-A mobo, AMD A6 7400K CPU, 4gb Corair xms3 memory, seagate hard drive, optical drive. Have updated bios to latest version from Asus web page. Mouse works ok in bios pages so believe mouse is ok.

Any ideas please?

and using windows i partitioned it into two

my problem now i cant mount the hard drive

and i cant find the other partition

plz help me the proper way to install
