However, The do I install now that windows is complaning of Drive seek 1(CDROM) failure. I have resolved to use USB CDROM to install. But my concern is the whether I can use this method to carry install. Again is somebody has an Idea how to make my cdrom working I will appreciate since I will be saved the cost of buying new USB CDROM. Again, Is there a way I can intall Linux without first backing up my HDD, partition into two, Install widows and then Linux? I want to believe their is a software that can help do that
