Windows (Of course) is showing me an error screen. Anyone had this

have done wrong?

Thanks for the help... I'm looking like quite the noob already on
this site... Hehe
If you have Partition Magic and a Flash stick here is another alternative:
1) use PM to shrink your windows partition by 5 GB
~ 1a) if this is a dual boot, shrink Windows by enough to hold Linux also
2) create a new 5GB fat based partition in the newly created space
3) copy your iso files into the drive created in #2
4) use something like Daemon Tools
(http://www.daemon-tools.cc/dtcc/portal/portal.php) to mount cd 1
5) use windows explorer to navigate to the /images directory on the
new mounted iso
6) look for the iso image for disk boot. use rawrite to move this to
a flash stick.
7) boot from the iso
Enjoy
