Thanks friends, I will follow some suggestions and let you all know. I am submitting more woes (if permitted that is, soon after this post). And since one distro has failed in accessing even the USB drive or CD, I could not proceed further, and used another distro. This Lab is meant for normal users and not geeks like all of you there. And unless a drive/partition (think in terms of C/D/E of redmond) are immediately accessible, nobody is going to like Linux (Yes, for them any thing is Linux and if in one distro they feel a problem, they would conclude again that Linux is not ready for the desktop as yet!! And that I want to avoid, and use the most user frienly distro where at least the drives need not be mounted every time you want to use.
