I don't fully understand the issue.
If the issues is that the CD-Rom will not open when you boot for a live cd, then that is standard behavior because the disk is mounted and must be used to continue to operate in the live environment. You will not be able to remove the disk until you end the live session.0 -
well i have encountered another problem, i got the CD-rom to open after saving it to the hard drive. i was then messing around with it put in a cd with music, worked fine, and then opened a new flash drive and plugged it in. the screen went black and nothing was happening. i rebooted and kept asking me to fix "X" by typing in "xorgwizard". so i did all of that tried to get it to work and still nothing happened.0

Is puppy installed on the hard drive or is it being run from a live cd/usb?
Was the music CD in and playing from the operating system prior to reboot?
Did you reboot the computer by standard means or did you launch something like ctrl+alt+dlete or ctrl+alt+backspace?0 -

If you need the Puppy disk to boot, you probably don't have it installed, or not installed properly to the hard disk. Once Puppy is installed correctly to the hard disk, there is no need for the CD anymore.0
-
so do you know how to properly install? it because i tried it twice maybe even three times and i still need the CD.0
-
I can't find a good installation guide from puppy, bu the official installation guide is located at http://www.puppylinux.com/hard-puppy.htm0
-
I just had a hard time accessing the Puppy site, but finally I found the page I was looking for. I'm giving you this link because we know you already have the CD.
http://www.puppylinux.com/cd-puppy.htm
Together with the link the mfillpot gave you, you should have all the instructions you need. Just make sure you follow all of them. I'm guessing your missing a step somewhere, or a step is failing for some reason, and that is why it's not installing properly.0 -
thanks for your help guys but i have one more question. i looked at the website that goineasy9 gave me and i'm not sure what the "usb vendor" and the "usb product" means. i have an old compaq with a 10 gb hard drive with a 125 RAM and its pretty damn old0
-
If your installing from a CD drive, you don't need to worry about the USB vendor. Besides, I see no mention of a USB vendor on that page.0
