This is my second thread in a week to try and get full functionality with 9.10. My earlier thread
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1385124
has stalled. And I've been unable to get any audio.
So I thought a clean install would be the way to go (previously, I had done a 9.04 -> 9.10 upgrade, big mistake!!).
I downloaded the 9.10 iso, did a md5 check, all OK. But the CD will not boot on start up.
I have a) checked BIOS and ensured CDROM is the initial boot device
b) checked that on my machine the DVD drive is master and the CDROM drive is slave.
So now I am stuck with 9.10 which doesn't work properly.
I'm now thinking about erasing the hard disk and starting completely afresh (i've backedup on a USB drive all required files).
A couple of questions tho, will the CD boot with a clean hard drive? and do I have the correct iso?
Maybe somebody can help. As mentioned in my previous thread I've been using Ubuntu since 7.04 and have had no problems at all with upgrades or clean installs. I would go back to 9.04 (of fond memory) if I had a chance.
Any help gratefully received, believe me.
