I've been trying Ubuntu out for the past few months with Wubi, and decided to install it properly.
I downloaded 10.10 32bit via torrent, then used the 'Installation From USB Stick Quick (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStickQuick)' guide. Doing everything on Windows, not Wubi. I tried a number of different combinations in the BIOS to try and get it to boot from the USB, without any success. Thinking that Wubi might be interfering I removed it and tried again, but nothing. I then tried different usb creators (usb creator and UNetBootin), and BIOS combinations, again without success.So I installed plop.
I booted the USB without problems, and started the install. Selected language, forward to preparing to install, it showed all green ticks, I selected the other two boxes, hit forward ... and nothing happened. I waited a good 20 to 30 minutes. I quit the install, tried again, but this time without selecting the additional boxes. Still nothing. I tried the other creators again. I then left it sitting their for six hours, and it still hadn't moved past the preparing to install screen. I tried using UNetBootin and letting it download a new ico. I then tried it by downloading another ico from the site directly. No success.
There's no error messages, it simply doesn't do anything once I click forward from the preparing to install screen.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
