burned the latest ubuntu on a cd and tried to install it on my
hp desktop which runs windows xp home 32bit
i believe i installed the ubuntu os but not sure
during the installation process it did notify me that it did not find any other
OS but i should have right? , my windows xp os right?
well it said if i wanted to continue to it would erase everything and install ubuntu but i said no and chose a different option
well the point is that after all that , it said it had installed , it ejected the cd and asked to reboot so i did
but once i did i got this black screen with a white blinking underscore on the top left
and it doesnt do anything, i have tried pressing F8 or F12 continuously but nothing happens, it get the same result: the black screen with the white blinking underscore
well if anyone knows how to fix this please let me know
oh and fyi im a total newbie
