Thread: Laptop won't boot after install


i've been running ubuntu on acer 5100 laptop year , half. latest version had 10.10 when disk crashed , burned , had replaced. external hard drive internal 1 died long ago , i'm lazy replace it.

things fine until crash.

bought new hard drive today (same brand , model 1 system installed on before), downloaded 10.10 , installation goes fine. then, in end, told 'you need reboot in order use new system'. yes , system ejects cd-rom , starts shutdown process. gets doing cd-rom (/sr0) , gets io error. of course because thing ejected! loooong list of io errors (all same) on device sr0 , have manually reboot system power button.

system starts come up, see bios hit external drive, , nothing. sits there blinking cursor @ top left of screen , nothing.

now, i've looked @ few things:

1: i've made sure external drive first boot device.

2. i've made sure disk , not damaged.

3. i've made sure iso downloaded has same hash 1 got

i've tried install on drive , same thing happens! know 10.10 can run on system has in past no problems @ all.

can tell me might going on?

thanks!
anthony
