Hey guys
Recently Windows crashed on my sisters laptop. So i figured no big deal just re-install it. But the partition was too small so i have to pull the info off the laptop. I didn't (still don't) have much resorces so i decided to download ubuntu onto a flash drive and use ubuntu to help pull all the info off. Took me a day or two to try to get the usb to work but i finally did. So i plug it into the laptop and it starts to boot up. I get a loading screen and it even shows the first signs of life (a background) when it all goes black and only a couple of random bars pop up. Little help please?
Specs:
Less than a gig of ram
about 2 gigs of memory left after wipeing windows
Really old laptop ^^ sorry don't know too much about it. Only know that little bit from trying to get it to run faster the other day.
I'm going to see if a little more ram might do it. See if a buddy of mine has the same RAM type. Thanks in advance DvD
