Hi! I have a desktop(Philips MT2700 running XP MCE like this>>>http://www.compisland.com/product,16,philips-mt2700.html) and I attempted to install Ubuntu 9.10 on it by using Wubi. I downloaded Wubi.exe from here>>>http://wubi-installer.org/ to my desktop…run wubi, insert a password for the new account, and clicked “install”. The installation files (700MB) was downloaded and checked, after which I was asked to reboot. I selected Ubuntu at the boot screen.
After that the Ubuntu icon showed up for about 30sec then suddenly disappeared…monitor went into sleep mode and my cpu silent. The installation is supposed to continue still for another 10-15 minutes and the machine will reboot again according to the steps here>>>https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide BUT unfortunately mine did not progressed anymore. I’ve repeated these steps 5 times…still no joy. Is this hardware or driver problem? My pc uses ATI Radeon video card. What services are needed for the install to be a success? I’m afraid I might have disabled some services in the past in my quest for a faster pc and it could be the reasons for my failed install now. What’s preventing my install to succeed? How do I troubleshoot this?
