Why, what happens when you try? Does it boot? Were you trying to boot
USB/CD images?

Well, if it's suggestions that you're after I note from a google image
search that you could also do Live 1.4" testing too :)

Well I finally got to install on an external hard disk and use PloP to boot via USB. I see differences to Zorin 8 because the old HP firmware probably.
Funny Linux has cures for funky motherboards, but it can't have an "if x do x" when it comes to funky Linux firmware. I have a dream the Kernel can someday link to old info and plug it in, update, debug on the fly and therefore save the world from so much wasted computers. I know the facts, but I can dream...Oh, I had to laugh at HP complaining about working outside HD0,0, too.
