Hi Guys,
I'm trying to install Ubuntu on my Vaio VPCEB15FG but installation hangs at same point every time. The laptop had windows 7 installed until something went haywire, tried to recover and couldn't run any recovery methods (internal partition or DVD failed)
So I downloaded 10.1 x64 and 10.1 x86 (torrent alternative) and burnt to DVD at slowest speed. Boots fine but after I select no wireless or connect to a wireless network and click continue it hangs without loading the next screen. It doesn't matter which option I select. Tried with nomodeselect also and no dice.
I can run it from the LiveCD and there are no video, network or audio issues at all.
Any advice on where to go from here? I previously thought the HDD was gone but I did the disc check from the advanced boot menu and it passed. Ubuntu experience 0.
Many thanks.
