Hello, i have an Asus eeepc 4gb surf that came with Ubuntu on it. I had the stupid idea to try and install winxp on it and it was slow. Then i decided to try and out the ubuntu back on it and i am having problems getting ubuntu installed back on it using a SD card. I tried using pendrive to make a usb boot and also tried unetbootin to make the usb boot drive.

Every time i try no matter what version i choose last version being 10.04.3 i can boot and select install and it runs okay for a minute and then all the sudden it comes up with allot of time out messages the last one reading 0 (/cdrom/casper/filesystem.squashfs and then i am left with a flashing cursor. I am kind of new to ubuntu installs and i have read were there are problems with sandisk sd cards and that is what i have and i have tried to see if it was limited but or restricted but it says its not.

Please help

Sounds to me as if the install image is somehow corrupted. Did you verify the checksum of the downloaded iso image?
