[Tfug] windows to Linux

[Liz_Ravenwood at beaerospace.com]

Hi Kyle,

I want to wipe out everything in windows. 

I put the CD in to boot, and it goes through the gyrations and then gives 
me some weird error message of "no disk found".

I got in to bios and ran a full disk scan and it coms out clean.

I also deleted my D: partition for recovery, as well as some type of 
unidentified partition, that I was wondering got created from the linux 
install.

Oh.  Fedora Redhat.

Thanks!

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?
