So I got fed up with Windows Vista and decided to install Ubuntu. My roommate has the 11.10 version and so that is what I installed. I've used Ubuntu 10.04 and 10.10 on a different computer before so I thought I wouldn't have any problems. Well, after I wiped the Hard drive it started installing Ubuntu. It restarted and when it restarted the BIOS window came up. Then, after the BIOS loaded it just has a blank screen with a blinking cursor in the upper left and stays that way. GRUB doesn't even come up so I can't do anything. I've already googled it and I have not been able to find an answer. Anybody know what's up? I could just simply reinstall it but I'm guessing the same thing will happen.

Did the live cd/usb booted correctly?



If so,try reinstalling GRUB.
Boot using a live usb/cd of ubuntu.
Use boot-repair to fix the problem.



After booting with live usb/cd ,Run following command in terminal,



sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair && sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y boot-repair && boot-repair


Use Recomended Repair



There are many other option to play with, since you don't care about re-installation.
