Hi,
Well basically my windows 7 system crashed a few days ago so i
went to use my system repair disk and i then realised half way through doing a fresh install of win 7 that i remembered i didnt burn the disk correctly so then my laptop wouldnt boot at all anymore i have had lots of trouble in the past with this laptop so i wanted to put ubuntu on it seen as it is free and i dont have the money to get it repaired at first ubuntu installed correctly but kept freezing and things so to cut a long story short i have been trying to reinstall ubuntu ever since (formatting the HDD with boot n nuke i think it is) formatting it through the live CD (disk utility) and just basically trying everything but it still kept freezing at the wireless screen during the installation so i decided to try another distro XUBUNTU but that also froze on the wireless page on the installation so i was advised to try the alternate ISO which i did and everything was going fine until it froze on 47% on the partitioning section, and i also forgot to mention that when i tried formatting the HDD on boot and nuke it also failed... i have run tests on the HDD but there are no errors and nothing wrong with it?
what can i do?
