My apologies if this is a duplicate, but I'm in a fix.
Some problems happened, and my linux was erased from harddrive. I tried to install Fedora / Ubuntu 16, but when trying to boot a live system from USB, it shows the purple splash screen with cycling dots for a while and then boots into BusyBox shell instead of Ubuntu.
But Puppy linux works, and I'm writing this from there.
(My computer is HP Pavillion.)
Currently my harddrive looks like this from GParted on puppy.
If I can't even live boot Ubuntu I can't install it, or use my laptop. I have puppy linux on my usb now, and it works, but how do I fix this?
(If you need any information that can be obtained from within Puppy, I'll post it if you ask for it)
Thanks!
