I have been trying for some time now to get Ubuntu working on my computer with proprietary NVIDIA drivers, having tried and failed many times decided to take a go at Xubuntu.

However I think I might have been messing around too much and now every time I try to reinstall Ubuntu or Xubuntu using a Live pen, as soon as I press enter on "Install Ubuntu" (or Xubuntu) the screen goes black and does nothing, but the computer remains on.

Is there a way to solve this without totally formatting everything?

I have Intel Integrated Graphics + NVIDIA 650M. Windows 8 installed in one hard drive and had Ubuntu installed in a partition of a separate harddrive. I thought this might be leftovers from the Ubuntu Config so I tried to delete the partition and fixmbr and fixboot from windows command prompt. I know this is a mess of totally noob mistakes but I still want to try and get it fixed.

Boot to Win 8, reinstall ihr ISO to your pen drive again with PENDRIVELINUX(google it), boot again with your pendrive

OR

Get to Ubuntu with the pen as a live USB and try installing ubuntu from there dude.

  • That is what I tried to do, I used Pendrive linux, and I get that menu "Try Ubuntu without installing" , "Install Ubuntu", etc... after I press "Install Ubuntu" the screen goes black and the computer doesn't do anything. – user155503 May 06 '13 at 17:39
