Status update... I bought an external DVD drive and successfully booted a Kubuntu live CD from it; it detected my hardware and now I'm writing this message from the live CD! And I notice that the names of Linux distros are red... apparently Konquerer has a spell-checker built in?!?!
Knoppix wouldn't start (couldn't mount CD bla bla), and I haven't tried DSL yet (I was just so happy to see something work that I had to write this message :P)
Unfortunately, I cannot mount my hard drive; there are no /dev/hda* files. I would have bought a new motherboard already, but they were out of stock. The oddest thing is that while two Linux distros won't recognize my hard drives, a simple Win98 DOS disk can see the FAT32 partitions! Unfortunately, it does me no good because my main partition is NTFS.
Perhaps there's a compatibility setting I could use to make it see the hard drive?
