Hello all... I'm pulling my hair out here.. I have a H.P. 2003 Pen.4 Windows XP Home addition with a Service pack 3, I've had the MS updates turned off for last few years, and deleted the DRM and Win.Dis-Advantage Tool out of registry, try to run as many open-source programs as possible...
Don't know if any of the above has anything to do with the problem I'm having with installing Ubuntu 11.04 or not...
I gave Ubuntu a try with the live disk.. It worked great, got onto the Firefox page okay too.. then I tried to do the install along side windows after the reboot of the live CD.
I gave it awhile to do it's thing, and when I returned to the computer, the screen was solid BLACK.. like the screen was turned off or something..
I tried the ESC/Enter keys and then a long string of writing popped up on the black screen...ea. line said error...error....ect..
I couldn't get it to unlock ~off of that black page...so took the CD out and held the computer button in until it shut down the computer...
~ Did a reboot.. back to normal windows just fine.. Checked the PC drives and saw that the MMC/SD {G} and the Compact Flash I/II {H} were there too..
When I clicked to explore those drives, got an Error message pop up box that said the drives are not FORMATTED.. and to click to format them would result in a loss of data..
Sorry for such a long explain...
Hoping someone can help ???
How do I uninstall the Ubuntu ?
