The computer is already running Windows 8 and Ubuntu, but the latter is not in working condition (details about the inoperability can be viewed in my last question ), booted from the USB flash drive, copied the /home directory to the data section, try to reinstall Ubuntu, but it hangs at the moment " Preparing to install Ubuntu "also pops up an incomprehensible alert.

What's wrong? How to fix this?

It also wonders if an existing grub will be killed, in which there is a download point for Windows when reinstalling ubunt?

PS With ubuntu poking around 4 days, the answer I would like to get the most detailed. If you need to climb somewhere and see some logs, please write how to climb, etc. Thank you in advance!

  • version of riots? Try to set English at the initial stage of the installation, maybe the error text will be meaningful. - aryndin
  • Try the netboot version. archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/trusty-updates/main/… - don Rumata
  • Check the memory ( memtest in grub, 20 minutes is enough to work, if there are no errors, you can exit without waiting for completion) and the file system ( fsck in recovery mode). Prior to that, the installer worked, and now stopped? - federk
  • Thanks, I will try. Yes, the installer worked - Ivan Dembicki
  • The question is not a bit sabzh. I understand ubunt parallel installed with Windows? If there are any problems after installation, but somewhere I read a long time ago that there is something related to uefi that can interfere with the loading / operation of ubunty ... - I. Smirnov
