Hello Mark, here's the story: I'm a relatively old hand at RedHat and Fedora, although not a coder or programmer, I can make these systems work for me and enjoy them. Recently purchased the Linux Format magazine with the UBUNTU distro. I had no problem loading this onto a laptop which already had Windows XP professional running. It resized the drive and loaded without a glitch. As a matter of fact, I am using it now to write this to you at my office.
Now, at home my system was DeskTop running both Windows XP and Fedora/RedHat. When I tried to run the CD/DVD, I had to get into my BIOS to run the DVD. Got that done, but when it tried to format the Linux partitions and set up UBUNTU, it crashed at about the 97% installed stage. I have tried everything including reformatting the entire drive, but it still crashes at about 97% installed. I have reformatted, reset the MBR, >>>>> I do not have the files you requested above, as I have finally gotten Windows XP back on the drive, but have not dared to try UBUNTU again. And I want to use UBUNTU as I find it to be a very good system on my Laptop. Thanks for all your help.
