Laptop HP G62-140US - BIOS Hewlette-Packard F.07, 10/2/2010. Has Windows 7 Home 64 bit. Processor Intel i-3 2.1 GHz. Memory 4 GB. Hard disk 250 GB
Was not able to boot Ubuntu 9.04 from the DVD drive ('Broken Bios' error). Was able to boot Ubuntu 10.10 Seemed OK and so made a USB stick for booting. This also worked on 2 occasions and after about a week cannot boot either from DVD drive or from USB stick. No upgradation of BIOS or Windows 7 was made. Trying to boot from DVD drive got 'Broken Bios' error and with USB the error screen goes off too quickly and therefter the loading goes for ever.
Any suggestions?
