I am having a bad day...
I bought a new 40GB USB hard drive to install linux on. I installed Mandrake 9.1. Upon completion of the installation, I could not boot up to Linux. I've come to discover that my laptop's BIOS does not support booting from USB devices. So, I ended up using my installation cd to go into rescue mode and reinstall my windows bootloader. Is there any way for me to boot up Linux?
I am really completely new at this and I am totally frustrated. But I don;t want to give up!
Can anyone help me?
