Since I see you've had some rather sarcastic responses, try these tips.

Google for "Power On Self Test "

Buy (or beg, borrow or get from library) copies of some of the basics books 
like PC Bible, MS & PC DOS manuals, etc.

Look at the how-tos on the web (www.tldp.org/HOWTO)

Almost forgot.  Find a linus users group near you and go to their meetings, 
asking questions of old timers.

HTH,
Tom
