So I have tried install using a USB flash drive. The BIOS is set up to boot from 'removable device' but everytime I start up up it just goes and reloads XP!
Is there a way to get LL2.2 to install on this laptop by running it from within Windows or has anyone any idea how to overcome this issue?
thanks
I installed on a ACER Netbook using an 8GB USB stick as well as an olde Compac Notebook. No CDROM drive on those netbooks, so USB was the only way to go. Check within the BIOS for an extended menu. This happened with my Compac Presario V2000. I had to press ENTER to expand and then had an additional menu. I disabled CDROM, and Hard Drive and left it just to REMOVABLE DEVICE. Moved it up to the top. Saved the setup and rebooted. Worked fine.
In terms of burning the image to the stick, I used a free program in Windows on my Win8 setup. Win32DiskImager is the one that worked. I've heard Free ISO to USB also is really good.
Of course, your mileage may vary. Good Luck and I'll post more info when I can if need be. ;D
