Installation Freeze

[cryptex86]

Hi All,

I'm having this problem installing Ubuntu 10.10 on my netbook.
When I boot it from a USB drive, I get to the part were it says "Preparation...", when I select forward to continue here, the system freezes up.

This happened with the regular Ubuntu and the Ubuntu Netbook Remix. Is there anything I can do to fix this?

Thanks in advance,

Hi and Welcome to the forums :-)

We need to know more about your hardware. Please describe.

And the first thing you need to do is to check the downloaded image's integrity.

For burning it to USB,

It would be helpful if you also post the output of this command from Applicatons > Accessories > Terminal.


sudo fdisk -lu
