linux booting problems

[napier1999]

I am trying to install linux on one of my computers, and It just runs the live cd/dvd version and boots from a live cd/dvd.

There is no recognition of the hard drive. How do I install it to the hard drive.

Ah, my friends were having this problem today in Computer class, what's your OS derivative? In your Settings tabs there should be a setting to install. If that doesn't work I may have something else that will help. Keep me updated and good luck!

Most linux distributions boot into the live environment by default, where you'll find an INSTALL icon on the desktop to install them.

Some do give you a grub2 boot menu option labelled INSTALL, but it doesn't always work nicely for whatever reason.

 

What distribution are you trying to install, and on what hardware are you installing it?

Is the drive showing in the BIOS?
