How to setup Linux on a blank hard disk?

Q. I have a blank Hard disk. I have the installation USB for Linux. When i boot I have two options "strike f1 to continue" and "strike f12 key to setup booting" Tried both and nothing seems to work, help?

A. It sounds like your BIOS settings don't allow you to boot from a USB key drive. Go into your BIOS settings and change the boot order priority and set the USB drive as first, that is if it supports it. Then try again.

If you set the USB key up correctly, it should boot into the linux installer.

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.)
