[Bug 965903] Re: installer crashed

[Rodolfo Vadillo]

So how do I fix this hard drive problem?  I've seen in the web somebody
suggesting the use of badblocks and fsck.  How can I use them?

I've been having problems installing Linux on my PC, which currently runs
Windows 7.

I tried installing Linux Mint about four or so times, and was never able to
get it to work.  The software center would not run; Google Chrome
installation did not work; Wine installation did not work, and who knows
what else.

Now this is the second time I try installing Ubuntu, and in both occassions
the installer crashed.  Now I was able to get it to install.  But I haven't
tried the software center yet.

Thanks.

Rodolfo
