Trying to install Ubuntu 9.10. The screen freeze and then it goes blank/black with a flashing cursor for 10 minute. Then th ecomputer reboot by itself.

The safe graphic mode do the same thing.
The live boot also does the same thing.

I've using the DVI connexion of the onboard video card of my Abit AN-M2 motherboard.

  • @FMaz Aaaah. Maybe not... Because you selected "Install Ubenu" Meaning it has to have a drive to look for. Im having the same problem with my windows xp. I used chkdsk /r. Recovered every file accept winload.exe. But anyways back to the point. It has to have a drive to look for and write on because its not going to install into a space that doesnt exist. So, Try buying a new hard drive. If you have a direct TV box with DVR. Theres a 160gigabyte Hard drive in there.

    - Hope this also helped xD

  • @chaos1sonic Hehe, actually this video is quite old, I've a whole new computer ;)

  • Aah. This problem is easy to find. This could possibly be a bad hard drive (HDD).

    Or it could be that you got a virus that killed your %SYSTEMDRIVE%. Anyways, If something deleted your %systemdrive% then there are 2 ways to fix it!

    1: Find your current operating system install disk

    2: Find and burn a disk with tools to recover Non allocated (Deleted) Files.

    If you run windows. Find the recovery console disk and go into the recovery console and type Chkdsk /r.

    -Hope this helped!

  • @chaos1sonic At this state no data should be copied on the hard drive. I didn't even choose what hard drive to use, and this was the Ubuntu boot disk ( That should work even with no harddrive plugged in).

  • I did try the safe mode, and it's exactly the same trouble.

see all

  • @oldmanstatic sry, i've wrote it too soon.. it helped me for continuing installing, but after installation finished, again i wasn't able to boot into Ubuntu. it helped only for installation process, problem with booting i haven't solved.

  • @TheDaurchik I tried that on My HP Pavilion G7 and it didnt work :(

  • @FMaz, if smbd will have this issue, this is how i've solved it. pressed "e" key, when a keyboard (with human) image appears -> pressed F6 -> hit the "nomodeset" option -> hit Esc, then continued with installing. helped with Ubuntu 11.10, on HP Pavilion G6

  • did you fix this problem ? I have the same exact thing happening to me

  • I have the same problem right now, does anyone have a solution, and also I have tried pressing all of the F keys but nothing happens, I just have a blank screen and a flashing cursor in the top left hand corner
