Help Brickybob Install Ubuntu On His "Restored" PC

[brickybob]

I have a restored PC, but in the bios menu it says "USB Device (Not Installed.)"

It's a dell dimension 2400, with custom parts I added in.

Please, I know dell isn't the best computer manufacturer but I got this computer a while ago.

I've tried more than one usb.

If it helps, I'm stuck with using Arch Bang.

Check if the lens is messed up. :o
Spray some compressed air in there, but not directly at the laser.

I meant the CD reader.

It makes a rumbling noise.

Also, I'm gonna try using wubi in wine.

Alright. Sounds good to me.

I'll rip it out mortal combat style.

The only hard drive I can take out is an external one and has no usb ports.

Plus I don't know if Dell Dimension 2400's motherboard supports sata.

We worked on 2 Dimensions in computers class. I can inform you that they do not have any SATA ports, strictly IDE.



The only way I can think of doing this is through a DVD, but I don't think your drive is working

Well stuff,

Also, every usb I use I get the error

Code: [Select]

strike f1 to retry boot f2 for setup utility

[otto-san]

it wont work if you just move the .iso to the usb, you need to use an iso burner.

of course you probably already knew this
