Hi, I Just tried to install Debian 3.0 on my ThinkPad A31 laptop. It is my first time trying to install Linux on my own, so maybe I'm just doing something wrong, but I get to the point where I have to make the boot disk, and it tells me my disk must be blank or write protected. It has not even checked the floppy drive though. I know this because the light doesn't come on and it doesn't make any noise. The floppy drive on my laptop is an external USB one, so I don't think it is even detecting it. Does this mean that I can't have Debian at all on my laptop? Is there any other way to make the boot disk? I can not set it up as bootable because I have Windows 2000 on this computer still too. What can I do, if anything? Thanks for your time,
