Hey guys,
I have been using ubuntu for quite some time now (since 6.06) and have been just upgrading my system by the built in updater and not doing new fresh installs of the new distributions. So when 9.04 came out I went to do the same thing and everything was going fine. As it was installing the upgrade it suddenly stopped and told me that the upgrade failed and that the system might be unstable. I then rebooted and cannot get back into ubuntu as it freezes at the log in menu after I put in my username and password. So, I have decided it would be a good idea to just to a clean install of 9.04 I already backed up the important files via some ext3 viewer on my windows partition. The problem now is I cant get into a live cd of the 9.04 I burnt or a legit official copy of 6.06 I mail ordered. This leads me to believe its a problem with my computer? rather than the cd?
Please help me get ubuntu running again. I would definitely want to keep my windows partiton by the way just so you know
Thanks
