Live Distro. Could it hurt computer?
 
Could using Kubuntu Live CD hurt my computer in any way? I have tried it on a computer and when I tried to install it there was an error on the disc, and I had to exit the installation and then rebooted to Windows and there was a physical memory dump and it shut down, rebooted, and did a checkdisc. Now I am trying it on another computer using AMD 64 instead of i-386. If the installation fails on this computer and the same thing happens on this computer could that be damaging the computer? Also, do you have any tips for installation?
Thanks,
bvsciguy

No, a Live CD will not write anything to your HD unless you want it too. Now when initiate an installation then it's a diff story.

LiveCD's only load into memory, which would be cleared upon reboot.
