Whats with the poll ???

I have several PC's and you don't ask if anyone has multiple boot !!

I have installed several Linux distros whilst I mainly use Windows .. I use Win2K SP4 at work, XP Pro SP3 on The PC I am using right now, Ubuntu "Super" OS 9.04 dual booting with Windows Multimedia 2005 on my laptop.
I have a PIII 1000MHz that dual Boots WinMe / Win XP SP2. I have a P4 Dual Core E8400 that boots Win7 ..

and any of my PC's can boot into Linux any time by carefully booting either a Linux CD or a Linux installed USB.

As for your laptop .. most common problems are faulty DC jack where the power supply plugs in, sometimes on the laptop and sometimes the cable .. or a faulty power supply ..

was this something that just happened or did you have any telltale signs of imminent failure like requiring to jiggle the mains lead or the plug ??

Have you tried an alternative power supply ?? if the light is not coming on ON YOUR POWER SUPPLY, it may be the faulty culprit. Either that or find someone with a laptop like yours and try swapping power supplies and batteries to see if yours are OK.

Mhmm,, ok, soon i may be getting another one of those laptops, thanks for the advise.
