Put the disk in (checked M5) to install on new computer. It didn't work. So looked around and updated BIOS. The good news was that after that update I could access my hard drive with Linux mint on through a piece of software. SO I thought I had cracked it. Sadly this morning I didn't. But I had gone onto the motherboard Gygabyte site and this is the motherboard http://ee.gigabyte.com/products/page/mb/ga-f2a78m-hd2rev_30/specs/
What it did tell me at the bottom of the listings was this - Due to different Linux support condition provided by chipset vendors, please download Linux driver from chipset vendors' website or 3rd party website.
I have no idea where to start with this statement.
However I ran the disk again this morning and as usual the enter page came up (sorry didn't mention I could get this far) and I clicked on Kwheezy failsafe link. Behold the operating system. Unfortunately it couldn't access the internet. I have a whole terrabyte to put Kwheezy on as I use Linux more than windows as its far more secure.
Anyadvice please would be welcome. I thought Kwheezy would suite my new faster computer desktop.
Mean while I will try again to access in failsafe to see if I can load it onto the hard drive
