I just want somthing that will run with my arcade monitor and ArcadeOS runs well with my onboard Video ( ati rage pro)

I'd guess that the Linux drive probably has lilo on its master boot record, you need to remove it before the drive can be used with any other OS. I don't know a whole lot about Linux, but there's some instructions here:

Did the drive you're currently trying to use also have Linux on it?

POS:
