Installation Issue

[Mark Apel]

I recently reformatted my Dell 4500S desktop computer (1.76 Gigahertz
Celeron processor) with Ubuntu 10.10 and despite an error message saying
certain packages couldn¹t be removed, things seemed to work just fine.  I
installed Ubuntu as the sole operating system. However, I started noticing
some bugginess and thought maybe the installation was corrupted. After a
forced shutdown, Ubuntu would no longer boot up my computer ­ saying ³init
not found.²
I booted up using the CD disk, but the installation got stuck on the
³Preparing to install² window and never went forward. I downloaded Ubuntu
again using my Mac and burned the iso to disk per the instructions. I booted
up Ubuntu on my Dell with the new CD and went to install Ubuntu 10.10 again,
and once again, it got stuck on the ³Preparing to install² window. Any ideas
on how I can successfully re-install Ubuntu on my old computer?  Thanks in
advance.
