Question Installing Fedora


Is there a way to install fedora on winXP without entering BIOS and changing load order?

I can't access my BIOS because it has a password that I did not assign...

Can't you use one of the function keys to select which device to boot from? This option is available from newer motherboards.

I'm trying to install from a USB, and the only options are, HDD, CD/DVD, FDD, LAN. Keep in mind that I do not have a working CD/DVD reader on my laptop, nor an external one.

first if you DO NOT allready have the laptop drive partitioned into two primary
one for xp
and a blank for fedora
then fedora will remove XP during install
you might want to read the install instructions
the link is plastered ALL over the fedora web pager you got the dvd from
It is very hard to miss
