visualbyte Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 as far as i know and dont quote me on this you will not be able to run it off a partion on the same disk ie device that windows is on you will need another disk the other alternative is to just use vmware and run it in a virtual disk but not a good solution in the long term as you always have to boot windows first..

andnever344 Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 (edited) i tried this a while ago and couldnt get vmware to run on vista so i reinstalled xp and everything was cool. also im not sure if you need to use vmware, next time you try to boot of the cd try running with a -v flag so you can see what its hanging on...maybe waiting for root?
