Hi,
I had problems with network upgrade (problem in my other thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1306726) and my cdrom also does not work - hardware issue. So I decided to try and upgrade using a USB.
I downloaded the ISO and created a startup USB. I rebooted and was able to run live usb (without install). I rebooted to my old installation to backup files.
When I tried to reboot again from the USB, the installation freezes. I am able to select language. But as soon as I select any try or install options it freezes. I once waited for 20 mins still nothing happened.. my USB kept blinking.
I am not sure what happened as it worked once correctly and subsequently did not. I recreated the start up USB by erasing/formatting and all still it keeps freezing.
Any solution guys what can I do? Has it affected the boot partition in anyway ... ???
Please help!
