Please help-installed ubuntu yesterday,want to change to xubuntu

Hi

I installed ubuntu yesterday on my old lappy with a bootable USB. I have tried Unity 2d and still it isnt coping well with it, so I have decided to try xubuntu instead.

Have downloaded xubuntu image and used the pendrive linux thing to create the bootable usb(i formated it too)

When I boot the USB, xubuntu comes up on the screen but will not either boot or install. Shall I retry and do the usb again?

Will I be able to erase ubuntu like I did with win xp(OS pre ubuntu)?

Thanks in advance

After booting from USB...wait for some time...if the screen still does not show up then try rebooting.

Yes you can erase Ubuntu and install Xubuntu over it

Cheers Ranger, I redid the USB and it all seems good at the mo, still installing but sorted.

Thanks :)
