In october my hard disk crashed and I finally got round to bying a new one, a WD bleu 1TB.
I installed Ubuntu 14.04 on it (by mistake), and it installed just fine. But when I tired to upgrade to 16.04, I got an error (I don't remember which one). So I thought, why not install 16.04 LTS instead.
But intstalling 16.04 gave me a blank screen on restart, with a blinking cursor, 7 or 8 lines down from the top of the screen. I tried reinstalling 5, 6 times, each time with no luck. I then tried to reinstall 14.04, but now it gives me the same black screen with blinking cursor...
I'm sure I had 16.04 installed before on the computer, before the old disk crashed. So I have no idea what is wrong or how to fix this.
Any help would be much appreciated...
