Hi, I'm having a weird problem here.
To make a lang story short, my windows xp installation was messed up again. So I thought, let's install windows xp again. When the installation wizard started, and i tried formatting my hard drive, it gives an error, can't format the drive. No specifc error. So I tried installing ubuntu on the same hard disk. Installation gave no problems; ubuntu gives the message:
Installation succesful, reboot now. But ubuntu simply won't shut down. I just gives me a black screen whith a blinking cursur. I think, no problem, the installation was succesful anyway, so i do a hard reboot. But the bios gives an error, no OS found.
I decided to install xp again, on that same hard disk, now it worked like a charm.
Few days later, i messed up my xp installation again, and tried te reinstall fails, tru ubuntu again ... just the same story all the way.
I don't know what to do.
please help...
