I've been trying to install Ubuntu onto my laptop. About a year ago I used wubi and installed Ubuntu and everything was working fine except occasionally Ubuntu would not boot and get stuck on some "PCI Port Error" (Something like that can't really remember now). Anyways, I got frustrated with the inconsistent start up of Ubuntu so I decided to uninstall wubi on my laptop.
I have Windows7 Dell Inspiron laptop with following configuration
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
Intel Core i3
4GB Ram
First I created a installtion DVD as per the steps and it got successfully burned from ISO image of 12.10 64bit. If I try to install Ubuntu or Selecte Try Ubuntu it is stuck up at boot screen with no specific error.
I installed Ubuntu 12.04 (ubuntu-12.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso) to my 4GB USB Sandisk drive so that I could install it on my laptop. I was able to get to the setup but when I would get to the part where it would ask me if I want to replace Windows or install next to it I chose to install next to it and then it would restart the computer.
I've made a clean install yesterday, for the first time restarted, everything went good and then after I updated packages and copied my old home directory to replace the new one, when I restarted it hung when it was booting.

I am trying to install ubuntu 12.04 on an older laptop. All the system requirements for ubuntu 12.04 are met with the laptop. I downloaded the os and created a bootable cd, when i turn the laptop on it boots the cd fine, when i click on install it starts to install then a minute or two after that the dots below the word ubuntu are all orange and nothing is happening. It just hangs there.
I have recently installed ubuntu 12.04 which was an wubi install so i dont have a liveCD
Whenever i boot the computer it goes straight to GNU GRUB version 1.99-21ubuntu3.1
Is there a way that i can bypass this and boot into ubuntu
Thanks Jaiden
Ps. I am running it along side with windows vista home prenium x32bit

Hello and thanks for reading,
I really need help now, as I have a project for work stuck on an inaccessible Wubi Ubuntu install.
I currently have (had) Wubi installed alongside Windows 7 on my laptop.
I was finished using Ubuntu so I restarted back into Windows and went to do something while it restarted.
