My windows Vista had some issues and would freeze after few minutes each time. So decided to install Ubuntu.



First copied the ubuntu .iso file to a USB drive and tried to install - did not work .



Then installed LinuxLive USB creator on another machine, and ran that. Now my USB had the .iso file & other generated files.



Now on Windows Vista machine, change the Boot order to USB and then tried again. Now it took me to the Ubuntu installation page and continued from there. I chose the Erase disk and install Ubuntu option.



Installation was successful. I also noticed a warning message about Low Disk level or something like that, but my machine has 250 gig. So not sure why.



Then restarted the machine, it is not working. I again went and changed the Boot order, but still doesn't work.



Edit: I removed the USB drive before restart. Would that be an issue?



Any help on this would be much appreciated.



Thanks so much



Harish

I was able to solve it from this post.



It did install on the USB first. So I downloaded Boot repair: I used boot-repair, ticking "reinstall grub" as well as "purge and reinstall".



I did not have to re-install again.



Guess should have search some more before posting. Thanks
