Hi,
I'm using my 8 years old PC with windows XP and a recertified hard disk.
Now it happened that windows didn't start and I had to reinstall it. But I had first to delete some files with CRC errors. It looks it worked but to be safe I bought a new hard drive.
Now my problem: with my old hard drive I could start Ubuntu and saw the desktop but couldn't install it. I think it was trapped in a loop.
With my new drive only Ubuntu crashes my system and I never saw the desktop. A older version makes that worse.
If you are interested I could activate XP with my old drive but not with my new drive. Microsoft told me "no support"
