Hi, This is really strange, can you provide more details? Its sound like a disk issue, do you by any chance have activated the SATA RAID option on your BIOS (if you have one) because once I have similar issue and it was due to the fact of the OS not beeing able to communicate with HD. Anyway best of luck!

And as a last resort, if you can't make it with mandriva nor ubuntu, you can also try with opensuse, it has great support for laptops: <a href="http://www.opensuse.org" target="_blank">http://www.opensuse.org</a> Download the 32-bit DVD (3.7GB) or the "Live Gnome" (a 700MB CD). <div> On 14 February 2010 22:17, Maria Militsi <<a href="mailto:militsim@gmail.com" target="_blank">militsim@gmail.com</a>> wrote: > Hi! > > I would like to report a problem I am having trying to install Ubuntu on my > HP probook 4510s laptop. > > I have used both wiki and a cd and the installation stops right after the > ubuntu logo appears and then there is only a black screen. > > I know very little about computers.
