    Messed it up-install hangs-please help

    Hi all. Being my usual stupid self, I messed about with the Linux Mint Debian Edition and broke my system. I am now trying to re-install Ubuntu 10.10 but the live disk starts to load and then hangs up. I tried various life disks that I know are all ok but none will install.
    I booted with a GParted live disk and totally re formatted the drive but that did not help.
    Any ideas?

    (Edit) I now tried various installations all with the sam problem. The Mint Debian version hangs in the boot sequence on the line: Starting Gnome Display Manager gdm3
    I assume all of the other distro`s hangs on the same line but is not visible.
    Could this be a problem with the Gnome display and how would I fix that?
    At the moment I cannot install anything!
