Try using Lubuntu instead: http://lubuntu.net/

Lubuntu is a lot lighter on the resources and should work better on your Netbook.

that is not going to fix my problem, and I tested it.

Go into your BIOS and see if there are any settings like "Secure Boot" or something like that and turn it off. That may be the problem.

I would also use Lubuntu anyway on that old of hardware.

Hope that helps!

Try installing Ubuntu via Wubi.

1. Put your USB key into your computer while it is running Windows.

2. Run Wubi.exe and go through the steps

3. Congratulations, you just installed Ubuntu within Windows, and now at bootup you can select between the two.

Hope that helps!

I had already tried that but it didn't work.
