Getting stuck when installing LM

Postby kotrfa on Tue Jul 10, 2012 7:43 am

Hi,
I have problem with installing Linux Mint.
I installed it 2 weeks ago and everything works fine. But yesterday I tried installing some new distribution (Kubuntu, Chakra, Fedora, FreeBSD...) and it works fine also. But last distribution which I've installed is Fedora and now, when I'm trying to install Linux Mint (or other operating system) through USB, I stuck on the black screen with blinking cursor and it doesn't continue.
But Fedora is working ok. When I turn laptop without bootable USB, it normally starts.
I tried doing bootable USB disk through different software, but still same.

Can anyone help me out of this?

Thank you

Linux Mint is funded by ads and donations.

When I tried to use unetbootin to install Linux Mint 13 with USB, it did something similar. I found the "dd" method at http://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/744 to work better with Mint 13.

Finally I solved it using DVD-ROM. By the way Image Writer didn't work either.
