My hard drive is blank. When I boot the pc it stops after the bios runs
through. I tried to install Tiny Linux and went through the process of
installing, but didn't have all the disks. Anywhoooo... I have a couple
partitions and a swap, but i'd like to start from scratch. I think I'm ready
to partition and install. The computer is a Dell optiplex Gn+. It has a 10
meg hard drive, pentium processor, and 32 meg ram. -Will
