[Tfug] windows to linux

[Kyle Scofield]

Liz-

  Are you intending to just wipe everything in windows and install
linux? Or keep your data and install linux?

 

If you want to wipe everything, most install media you boot to should
give you the option to wipe all partitions (not just linux partitions). 

 

Are you able to boot to cd and failing then? Or are you not able to boot
to cd?

Greetings TFUGGERS! 

I've decided to wipe out my windows on my home laptop and install linux,
but naievely thought I could just boot from the install disks. 

been looking on the web for how to move windows to linux and all I'm
seeing is the rationale for doing so. 

Do I need to do some kind of bios disk thing first? 

Respectfully,
