Ok, my friend got a virus which killed his computer. (It wouldn't boot up past the "Windows XP" logo.
He gave it to me to format and put windows 7 on.
I tried this... but it just won't work! It installs fine, then freezes at the windows 7 logo on its first boot.
Kubuntu 8.10 gets past its logo and then the screen blanks out, never to return. (Even when you use the live cd!)
GParted does all its loading text then the screen goes blank too.
What am I to do?
