I apologise for not realising this sooner-- Matt's pointed out that the bios on your netbooks is, at a minimum, a bit odd. I'm sure you're now frustrated by us all yelling at you! (well, maybe not yelling, but insisting that it *should* work) This page may/should have what you need: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromWindows Scroll down to the "CD Image approach" section. Alternatively, you *may* be able to re-install using wubi and select something like "full installation" (rather than "install inside Windows"). I hope this helps. -g > On 15 September 2010 14:07, Matthew Daubney <m...@daubers.co.uk > <mailto:m...@daubers.co.uk>> wrote: > > > > On 15 September 2010 10:36, Matthew Daubney <m...@daubers.co.uk > <mailto:m...@daubers.co.uk>> > > wrote: > > > > On Wed, 2010-09-15 at 09:53 +0100, Jacob Mansfield wrote: > > > the F12 options are PCMIA cdrom, hard disk and network boot > > > > > > Did you have a bootable USB stick in at the time?
