Here's my setup: -Windows 7 (legit) - Acer Revo Nettop (it's my htpc) -Hard drive is failing - Followed this article: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows - When i take out the dying drive, insert the new drive, turn on computer with newly created bootable USB drive it starts up and then just sits on:
SYSLINUX Copyright 1997-2008 Some Guy blah blah _ (blinking cursor)
What am I doing wrong? All I want to do is get Ubuntu onto a brand new hard drive.
