Hello everyone,
Im attempting to install Ubuntu on a Samsung N130 1.6ghz 160gb netbook with 1gb RAM. It originally came installed with Windows 7 starter. I downloaded Unetbootin, downloaded 9.10 Netbook remix ISO, and installed to a PNY 4gb flash drive.
I was able to boot from the flash drive and use the live version, but upon installing I had an error with my HD and was forced to cancel. Upon rebooting i received the "No OS Found" error. To be safe i downloaded parted magic onto the flash and wiped the HD clean.
Afterwards UNR will not finish boot sequence, giving me various errors. I assumed the ISO was corrupted, formatted the drive and installed the desktop edition ISO. Still have problems with initial boot sequence.
I have installed Ubuntu on desktops in the past via CD with no problem however this is my first flash drive install. I was up til 3:30 in the morning trying to figure this out, and am stuck.
Thank you, Jeff
