Remember the link I sent you and recommended you read before installing?
In the section: https://antixlinuxfan.miraheze.org/wiki/How_to_install#BIOS_Setup
it explains that with some computers, you need to select the boot device. To launch the boot selection menu, it is best you search for the computer model and find out which of the Fn keys is the want that lets choose what device to boot.

The article mentions different possible keys, but it depends on your device.
What I found for a Lenovo Thinkpad is this article: https://support.lenovo.com/in/en/solutions/ht104668
It says the F12 key shows the boot menu and lets you select to boot from DVD there.

If this doesn’t apply to your computer, search for it (LENOVO 9389AQ3) using google and see what the corect key is.

And, again, i recommend you take a look at the wiki article.

@cherith_reddy, did you burn antiX to a CD or DVD? Do you know how to burn an ISO image to DVD? Did you at least use a program similar to ImgBurn or Free DVD ISO Burner for Windows?

The ISO “antiX-19.3_386-full.iso” is 1.16 GB and does not fit on a CD, on a DVD it does. If you are a beginner in antiX Linux, as I am, prefer the full versions, as you already informed us that you have 1 GB of RAM, in the topics https://www.antixforum.com/forums/topic/64- bit-or-32-bit-confusion / e https://www.antixforum.com/forums/topic/need-for-download-guide/, follow the guidelines and recommendations received from colleagues.

Find out with which key on the keyboard you will be able to get to the device boot options menu, as @Xecure said may be the F12 key.

Do the following: Insert the DVD into the player with Windows running, restart the computer, watch the computer lights, when you turn it on again, even if there is no image on the monitor, keep pressing the F12 key or the key that activates the options menu boot device (I found in a search that could be F1), if everything goes right, you can use the keyboard keys up or down to select CDROM option: Model of your player, press Enter. If you can do this and if your player is reading the DVD you burned with antiX correctly, you will certainly see the antiX boot screen.

I found some information that may prevent the device boot options menu from displaying https://support.lenovo.com/en/solutions/sf16-d0035, you will need to translate the website text into your language .

The device boot options menu screen looks like the following image:

@cherith_reddy, você gravou o antiX um CD ou um DVD? Você sabe gravar uma imagem ISO em DVD? Ao menos você usou um programa semelhante ao ImgBurn ou Free DVD ISO Burner para Windows?

A ISO “antiX-19.3_386-full.iso” possui 1,16 GB e não cabe em um CD, em um DVD cabe. Se você é um iniciante no antiX Linux, assim como eu sou, prefira as versões full, como você já nos informou que possui 1 GB de memória RAM, nos tópicos https://www.antixforum.com/forums/topic/64-bit-or-32-bit-confusion/ e https://www.antixforum.com/forums/topic/need-for-download-guide/, siga as orientações e recomendações recebidas dos colegas.

Descubra com qual tecla do teclado você conseguirá chegar até o menu de opções de inicialização de dispositivos, conforme @Xecure disse pode ser que seja a tecla F12.

Faça o seguinte: Insira o DVD no leitor com o Windows funcionando, reinicie o computador, observe as luzes do computador, quando ligar novamente, mesmo que não apareça imagem no monitor, fique pressionando a tecla F12 ou a tecla que acione o menu de opções de inicialização de dispositivos (eu encontrei em uma pesquisa que pode ser F1), se ocorrer tudo certo, você poderá utilizar as teclas do teclado para cima ou para baixo para selecionar opção CDROM: Modelo do seu leitor, pressionar Enter. Se você conseguir fazer isso e se o seu leitor estiver lendo corretamente o DVD que você gravou com o antiX, certamente você verá a tela de inicialização do antiX.

Eu encontrei algumas informações que podem impedir de o menu de opções de inicialização de dispositivos se ser exibido https://support.lenovo.com/pt/pt/solutions/sf16-d0035, você precisará traduzir o texto do site para o seu idioma.

A tela do menu de opções de inicialização de dispositivos assemelha-se a imagem a seguir:

THANK YOU, EVERYONE

Problem Solved

summary
1. switch on your pc/system Insert the live DVD /USB(i will explain here with DVD) then restart
2. while restarting, try to get into you BIOS/startup menu ( the process of getting into the BIOS may vary from system to system, therefore, search on web how to open BIOS/startup menu in ___________ pc or laptop.
3.t(his step varies from system to system)
then you may search for BOOT option and choose your cd drive
if you don’t find boot option then search for the Startup sequence and alter the Startup sequence by bringing CD/DVD drive above the HDD
4. then Save and Exit.
5.probably by now, your Linux would start

hope this helps

@cherith_reddy,

Excuse me, I forgot to send the image I had mentioned to exemplify the device boot screen.

Glad you were able to change the boot order of your BIOS. Notify us when you are able to install antiX.

You will be amazed at your computer running antiX 19.3 once installed. After installing antiX, change your BIOS boot order to boot from your HDD first. Recalling that antiX is an operating system that was released on October 16, 2020, being therefore, new and current, compared to Windows XP that was launched on October 25, 2001 and has been discontinued for some years.

With antiX Linux, we can save many old computers from being thrown in the trash and breathe new life into old technologies, but antiX Linux also works great on new computers.

I hope you are able to understand the texts translated by the online translator, as I do not know how to write in English.

@cherith_reddy,

Desculpe-me, esqueci de enviar a imagem que eu havia citado para exemplificar a tela de inicialização de dispositivos.

Que bom que você conseguiu alterar a ordem de inicialização da sua BIOS. Avise-nos quando conseguir instalar o antiX.

Você vai se surpreender com o seu computador executando o antiX 19.3 após instalado. Após a instalação do antiX, altere a ordem de inicialização da sua BIOS para inicializar primeiro pelo seu Disco Rígido. Lembrando que o antiX é um sistema operacional que foi lançado no dia 16 de outubro de 2020, sendo por tanto, novo e atual, comparado ao Windows XP que foi lançado em 25 de outubro de 2001 e já está descontinuado a alguns anos.

Com o antiX Linux, podemos salvar muitos computadores antigos de serem jogados no lixo e dar vida nova a tecnologias antigas, mas o antiX Linux também funciona muito bem em computadores novos.

Eu espero que você esteja conseguindo compreender os textos traduzidos pelo tradutor online, pois eu não sei escrever em idioma Inglês.

If I am not misunderstanding, the solution was to get into the BIOS setup (using the appropriate key at power up) and then placing the CD-ROM as the first boot device, and the hard drive as the second boot device.

Note that in most systems it will be okay to leave this setting. If you do not put a bootable disk in the CD/DVD it will simply pass on to the next boot device, which will usually be the hard drive. If you remove the antiX LiveDVD after installation the computer will boot to the hard drive. If you leave the bootable LiveDVD in the CD/DVD-ROM device it will again boot to the live boot menu. Choose “Boot from Hard Drive” to boot into the newly installed antiX system rather than starting the LiveDVD again.
