Need Portable USB linux distro

[aj421]

I need a portable linux distro that is not slax or knoppix becuase i am hacking into a laptop to remove anti executable but there is only one problem our school has 2 types of laptops that they give to the students core 2 duos and centrinos. Knoppix works perfectly on the centrinos(which i have) but it does not show the hard drive on the core 2 duos

. I need a distro that can let me edit the hdd on a core 2 duo machine (So i can keep my 20 bucks that i made).

thats weird, have you tried manually mounting the harddisks?

Im assuming you want a GUI to do the job, so get DSL(damn small linux)

A nice guide

k ill try DSL

the command to mount is mount /dev/hda??

assuming it isn't a SATA harddrive(most likely is), otherwise its mount /dev/sda

i think the core 2 duos are sata shouldnt they show up on the gui like on the centrino laptops ata
i tried fdisk -l in knoppix it did not list the hdd il try dsl

Just a suggestion but a lot of BIOS options involving hardware access that linux likes come disabled for windows use.

Im sure everything is enabled in BIOS

try UBCD4WIN. you can use it on a USB drive, and you can load whatever drivers you need because it's a Windows PE environment. chances are, the drivers it comes with will work.
