Hopefully I got this in the right forum since it involves both Windows and Ubuntu.
Ok, so I'm having a few issues with my netbook. So, I have been using ubuntu on my netbook for a few weeks now (its a Dell 10 mini) and the resolution has always been a bit off. I just realized it wasn't recognizing my video card, something common with these netbooks apparently. Yesterday I tried another to solution to this problem which failed. The computer will load the operating system but won't actually get to the login in screen. I have decided to go back to Windows 7, since i'm tired of this video card issue, but now I am having another issue. Windows 7 wouldn't install because the hard drive wasn't correctly formatted. Unable to find a way to fix this without reinstalling ubuntu I am trying to reinstall ubuntu. That's when I ran into my current problem. I am doing all of this from a flashdrive, since its the only way with a netbook. For some reason my computer is now getting an error every time I try to install ubuntu. It says "Starting CUPS printing spooler/server" then says "init: lightdm main process (2934) terminated with status 1" and doesn't go any further.
So if anyone can help get to my final goal of installing windows 7 back onto the computer, through installing ubuntu or not, would be greatly appreciated. Thank You.
