Re: [LINUX_Newbies] Digest Number 3365

 

Thanks for the earlier replies.
However the problem is I really do get a black screen - I do not get as far as a boot screen / boot options. The usual options of changing the boot option to an external drive / usb key et al are not possible. There is no obvious hard disk activity .

Ironically earlier I did an online upgrade to 9.10 and it went fine. I sold the equipment and was in the process of cleansing the system. 9.04 installed from the USB key. I then sought to perform the upgrade to 9.10. I had few fears as I had done this before. Upon the conclusion of the install and restarting the system I got that dreaded blank screem.
My problem is that it's young recipient will be short of a Christmas present and I've already received money for something that is inoperable !!!
Can anyone suggest another way forward?
Many Thanks,
Barrie (Torquay UK)
