-TangleFoot-

Dunno - that's why I suggested this instead.

Excuse the million questions.......I'm having a crisis of confidence!!

I'm being a girl, need to read things properly before I start to post about them!!!

nunnygirl

OK, I've tried to read that back and it's kind of making sense

So how do I download Ubuntu? How do I get Ubuntu to run on the broken PC?

Browntoa

choose the desktop version here

http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download

you want the default 32 bit

then burn it to a cd

start the PC and hit F2 ( or whichever key it says for set up) and look for a section that says "boot order" and make sure the CD/DVD drive is the first option, then save and exit

place the CD in the drive on the PC and turn on , should boot to ubuntu , you are looking for a live test , not the install (which runs it from the CD)

there is a built in CD burner software in it which will allow you to burn the photo's off the CD, or it should recognise a USB pen drive

Ignore that!!!! Found it!!

OK, I've done all the above and it turns out the DVD/CD drive in the other computer is knackered again after they had it fixed!!! GGGRRR!!!

Just going to leave it now, thanks for the help :T:T
