Xp/linux 9.2 issues
First, I am a casual user, sucked into Linux by a well written article, BIG PROBLEM!! I have downloaded and installed Linux on my notebook, discovered that it does not support my wireless card, and want to restore XP. I cannot find any info on doing this and when I put in the XP disc that came with my notebook it wants to reinstall XP not restore it. Before you say it.... I KNOW, I shouldn't have jumped into this, but I have and now I am stuck! Can Anyone help???

Welcome to PCMech, geoffc
 Are you dual booting, or did you wipe the drive before you installed linux? Did you try booting from the restore CD? Make sure the CDROM is selected as a boot device in the BIOS.

re:...
I thought Linux was supposed to have set a partition for itself so as to preserve XP, but it never asked about that during setup and I can't find another partition. I am not well versed in this at all, so I may not be looking in the right place or at the right thing.
