Hi,
I made an xubuntu disk. loaded it and rewrote my hardrive. on a pretty old averatec laptop. 3/4 of the install it gives a a io error and stops the install. I tried to reinstall from the screen again but got the same error.
So I rebooted and it skips everything and goes straight to a grub loading stage 1.5, grub loading error 17. It even skips the live cd.
I also tried to do it thru a usb stick but that gets ignored too.
Any help? Thanks!
Andre
