Install Probs

Hey guys,

I got a free copy of linspire when I ordered all the the parts for a new computer last week for a client. Today I was just messing around and though I would install it on my machine. So I went and got a old 10 gig hd out of the closet and installed fine and told me to take the cd out and hit any key to reboot. But when it starts to boot up all I get is a bunch of zero's and one's that fill up the whole screen and a flash cursor at the bottom right.

Computer specs are in my sig except now I have a gig of PC 2700

Well, your banner.jpg appears as a checkered picture 4x4 pixels :/

As to your problem - I have no idea except to try disabling frame buffer on Lindows. You'll have to refer to their docs about how todo this.
