Alexi, I tried to install the alternate Ubuntu edition through the link you provided. The installation went through just fine up until the disk partitioning stage, but the "Installing the base system"step was unable to complete. I kept getting all sorts of "error", "file corrupt" and "cannot retrieve file" messages. I started all over again many times until I had to abort this step. The following installation steps were unable to begin, since base system had not been installed.</big> When I booted my laptop once more I got the message "Non system disk or disk error. Enter a disc and press enter when you are ready" etc. This is (I think) because I had asked for the Ubuntu installation to use the entire disk, so windows vista were gone, luckily :) Then I thought I would try the Ubuntu 7.10 edition cd again, thinking that maybe at this stage it would work. Unfortunately, once more installation was aborted without any messages. The computer just stopped right after a few minutes and went blank. I tried all the different boot parameters Nikos suggested, to no avail. Then I thought, why don't I try Open Suse once more? :) Maybe, this one will work. And, it did!! So, after 3 days and 4 nights of struggling, I have Open Suse on my laptop -unfortunately not Ubuntu- but yet again Linux :) Alexi, Niko, Stergio, Argiri kai Savva sas efharisto poly, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR SUPPORT. By the way, Argiri, I had tried installing with both the laptop battery on and off :) All the best to all of you!!

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.
