computer locks up during hard drive install (twice)

<< < (2/12) > >>

batnas,

according to seatools, the hard drive checks out perfect.  for the most part, that means the hard drive is good.
that doesn't mean there couldn't still be errors, there could be.  all there needs to be is one error at that critical place and possibly hurt the whole operation.
my reason for considering trying another hard drive is to determine if it couldn't be a hardware issue with the computer itself.  if another, or possibly a third, hard drive does the same lockup at the same place, strongly suggests that the computer is the problem.
thanks.

curaga:
Are you sure it's not the cd drive?

ejames82:
i can't be 100% sure, but it's installed several distros and performed quite reliably i really don't think the cd drive is at fault.
i am getting the pictures processed as we speak (mentioned earlier).
thanks.

ejames82:
i just got another idea.
would this live environment detect a flash drive, and does it include some kind of notepad app?
i could copy and paste the output from the terminal and put it on flash drive.

batnas:
I think it will detect a flashdrive or at least an USB pen.

Check the appbrowser. I know there are geany and beaver2
