Hi all
I am a fist time user of Ubuntu, made the switch from vista- as it was starting to irk me. I burnt a live CD with ubuntu 8.04, everything worked great as I was able to run it off the CD. As I decided to install it making it my premier operating system I ran into a bit of trouble during the partitioning part of instillation. It came up with an error (cant remember it off the top of my head). So I canceled the install process.
I decided to reboot, but found that nothing will come up. All I see after the initial load screen is a black screen with a grey flashing bar. It remains like this.
What I either need to achieve is get back into vista (doubtful) or reboot off the CD using Ubuntu (if that’s possible?) I have tried to re-boot from the DVD drive by pressing F2 and selecting it, but this does not seem to work.
I Have an Acer Aspire 5920
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
