http://ubuntuforums.org – Im trying to install ubuntu on my Samsung RV511 laptop. Windows 7 cannot install anymore. It freezes up on the windows loading screen. So I Gave up and wanted to install Linux or Ubuntu. After numerous attempts on both installs. I can get inside Ubuntu Desktop using the USB Live Stick but when i try to install i can get up to where i select which wireless connection to use. . I select continue and it just does nothing. even left it for 3 hours in which it didnt change screen. Is it anything to do with the installs or maybe is it my SATA HDD giving me grief?? HELP. thanks:( (Hardware)

I have a Toshiba Satellite with an AMD Turion X2 that I am trying to install ubuntu on using a USB stick. The hardrive has Windows Vista on it but is from a different laptop so it is not accessible. I set it up to boot from the USB and it seems to work until the Wireless portion where you select the network. It freezes there everytime.

I've downloaded the .iso file (ubuntu-12.10-desktop-i386.iso), and then used Unetbootin to make my 16Gb Kingston pendrive a live-USB. Then I restart my notebook (samsung r580) and access the BIOS. I select the option to boot from USB, and restart again. The options screen appears.

I'm trying to install 12.10 from a burned DVD. When I try to boot from the disc, I'm met with a Grub screen that shows four options (the standard "Try Ubuntu without installing" / "Install Ubuntu" list). No matter which option I select, the DVD spins for a bit and the screen goes black.

I've tried multiple verified Live DVDs.

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.

After getting to the screen that states: "This computer currently has Windows 7 on it. What would you like to do?" I am not able to continue with the installation process after selecting "Install Ubuntu inside Windows 7".

I am running Ubuntu off a USB drive after using UNetBootin and then selecting the "Install Ubuntu 12.04 LTS" shortcut.

Ubuntu-9.10 in USB stick 3 years 22 weeks ago

Hey,

I wanted to install Ubuntu-9.10 in my laptop, currently which has both windows and ubuntu-9.04. I'm trying to make it fully into linux box.

I downloaded ubuntu-9.10 from ubuntu site and with 3rd party software( sorry forgot the name ) copied the ubuntu folder to the usb stick.

I am trying to install my first linux software, ubuntu 12.04. I got an iso image of Ubuntu 12.04 from a pc magazine dvd. I first burned it using imgburn on a clean new cd-rw. Then i deleted a 40 gb partition to make it free. I booted from the cd, Ubuntu came up, selected install option followed by install along windows 7 option.

It did not ask me to slide..
