Hi everyone ive been trying to install ubuntu 20.04 for a few hours and once i get to the remove medium installation and press enter the installtion does some sort of boot loop but does not have ubuntu installed please would a kind soul please explain to me how to go about this issue

forgotten point NB! at the end of the installation the (first time) when you get the restart system prompt i pulled out my flash drive when i shouldnt have i think this might be cause issues.

  • pls explain what you mean with boot loop and perhaps you could change the boot-device in bios/uefi – d1bro Jun 24 '20 at 22:34
  • basically the laptop keeps restarting itself with some text all that I could catch was that it said reset system because the process is very quick it starts up without ubuntu installed when i installed it then has a blue box with menu buttons and some other options which i forget what are called, so i click continue boot but it still has issues as if ubuntu was never installed sorry if this is hard for readers i dont exactly know how to explain the problem – Grimm2577 Jun 24 '20 at 22:43
  • perhaps you can tell us the manufacturer and the model or serial number - what ever you can find on the laptop might be of great help - so we can figure out which buttons to press to get to bios/uefi - one of these are quite common Esc, F2, F10, F12 and Del-- the key needs to be hit right after xou turn it on -- when `some text is shown -- here is a little hint for entering bios/uefi https://www.tomshardware.com/uk/reviews/bios-keys-to-access-your-firmware,5732.html – d1bro Jun 24 '20 at 23:00
