Hi chaps,
I've been given an old computer (HP Pavilion) which runs Windows 98.
However, I want to install Codewarrior, but it needs versions 2000 or higher - and I ain't paying for that!
I've decided to give Linux a try, and I 'm starting off with Ubuntu.
However, before I reformat the hard drive I've got a question.
I'm guessing I need to format in BIOS, but after I reformat, won't the CD driver be lost?
If so, will I have to re install the driver software before Linux? Is there somewhere I could find it, as I don't have it.
I've downloaded Ubuntu and put it on a CD R, but there is no place for USB or anything else. I presume there is no other way to install it other than CD, but if I have no driver then it won't work at all.
I eagerly await your advice,
Sparky
