I am unable to install a hp external cd rom to my Linux operating system mini hp laptop?

Q. When attempting to install the external cd drive by using usb port linux fails to pick up cd player to install on my HP mini laptop?

A. When i comes to Linux - Driver support is important - I would suggest that you check a hardware comparability list to see if there is a different driver for that device Here goes one for you

Can you load Linux on a USB drive then boot to it on a Windows machine to read all the data?
Q. I was thinking about PC security and it occurred to me that no matter what you do to protect a Windows file system, couldn't you just boot to a USB linux system and then read anything off the hard drive you wanted?

A. That is why passwords for booting are important and not allowing the computer to boot from any other device. And using a password for login is also important.
Although the rule of thumb for security is if someone has physical access to the computer you cannot prevent them owning the computer.

If you were to boot a machine on a usb flash drive linux?
Q. If you were to boot a machine on a usb flash drive linux,
will your machine be safe?
will the linux be sanboxed in?
or can viruses get onto your machine?

A. Since Linux can write to an NTFS partition, if you saved downloads you did in Linux to your Windows partition, it would be the same as using Windows to do it. How the files get there doesn't matter. If you turned the drive off and the flash drive was the only drive in the computer, all you could ruin was the Linux installation on the flash drive. (That's why Freesco is virus-proof - as long as you have a back-up floppy. If one gets hacked or virused, just boot with the other one and make the bad one a backup of the good one.)
