OK, This is what I did. The Dell in question is the same one that I had the wireless issue.
Now I have tried to update it to Beryl. I tried using the live cd but then realized it is only a dvd-rom. So, I created a live DVD and the laptop booted up from there. I installed the OS on the drive and right at the end of the installer it says that the installer crashed. It would not shut down unless I clicked on shutdown. Then it hangs or something and I have to hold power button for 5 sec.
When I try to boot up the machine it does nothing. What have I done.?
Even if I hit F12 and select the HDD it still will not boot. I have even tried to boot from the grub screen with boot internal hdd, I see booting from local disk and a courser (<--spelling) below that, but that is it. What have I done or what can I do now?
Many thanks.
