Ive just finished installing it, ive used one called Mandrake which ive been told is the easiest one to use. Ive got 2 HD's, a 60gb and a 250gb. Ive got XP on the 60gb and ive just installed linux on the 250gb which i thought was probly best. It all seems to have worked ok and i can still use XP with no problems (as i am doing at the minute) but now i cant see the 250gb drive in the My Computer folder, and when i try and boot up into linux it goes through a little bit of dos and then stops with the final line starting as "Kernal Panic...." it wont go any further. It created a partition in the selected HD during install and i dont know whether that might be the cause. Anyone got any clues to where i might be going wrong?
