Hello,
I'm brand new to Ubuntu and new to this forum. I have a MacBook and my hard drive in it died. I purchased a new one but decided to just install Ubuntu. Since I am a college student away from home, and computers that will let me burn dvds, I installed Ubuntu 9.04 that I got from an Ubuntu user guide. Since I cannot burn a dvd and do not want to spend the money on a usb drive and I cannot find my old one at the moment, I tried to use UNetbootin to install Ubuntu 12.04 from my hard drive. I downloaded the ISO from the Ubuntu site. When I open UNetbootin it says that I don't have 7z or whatever. I tried to download it but I get an error message and am informed it downloaded an alternative version. Either way, I get the error message and then UNetbootin opens anyways. I select to install the ISO using my hard drive and it prompts me to reboot. Here's the problem, when I enter the GRUB and select UNetbootin it immediately pops up and says error 15 file not found. I've searched online but other people have their error 15 message preceded by other messages. Sorry if this narrative was too long but I don't know what is important. Any help would be very much appreciated!
