I am trying to install Ubuntu and my disk is scratched so does not read ,has anyone got one I can have please?
Use a memory stick or sd card instead. I don't even have a cd/dvd drive on my pc!
It would involve having a DVD writer or a USB stick bigger than 512mb, thanks anyway I know your trying to help.Using a cheap tablet ATM.
I think that will work thanks
No worries. I wasn't happy with the result I got, so I'm going to do it again from a DVD I burned in the meantime. The choice during the setup about which features to install was too cryptic and not explained anywhere. It also takes a lot longer doing it that way, with choices during the middle of a multi-hour process on my slow internet speed. The result doesn't have the Unity desktop, which I quite like, and a couple of other oddities. I know I could probably sort it out, but easier to try again from DVD.I think that will work thanks![]()
Cheers, all up and running with 12.04No worries. I wasn't happy with the result I got, so I'm going to do it again from a DVD I burned in the meantime.

This is 14.04 on a really old laptop, so it may be that the laptop is too old for 14.04 and Unity.
I will report back on my second attempt, if you like. It will be later in the week.
