I recently got sick of windows and a BSOD pushed me over the edge. Some memory failure or something and I couldn't start windows except in safe mode. I was just planning on going to Ubuntu anyhow. So I booted it from an 8gb USB using UNetBootin and installed it. Got it running, things were going well, except internet. I was trying to figure out drivers or whatever, and ended up updated computer with one of the network things and when I tried running it on reboot goes to the memtest, which I let run, but when it finishes my only option is to restart and it does it again. I scoured the net, but no avail.
I can get to an options-like page, but my only opton is Ubuntu 9.04, memtest86+
I go to edit and it has
When I go to command line and type kernel /boot/ <tab>, it just shows memtest86.bin and grub.
As you can see I am not amazing with linux/computers, but I am semi-intelligent when it comes to this stuff. To make matters worst I just formatted the entire HD when I installed (I'm SO done with Windows), but now I wish I had it at least to re-install Ubuntu. If anyone knows how to get back to Ubuntu and how to keep it that way, or knows how to totally reinstall the whole thing please let me know. I gotta fix this quick too =( Wish I could offer more info, and I appreciate any help.
