1167581 2011-01-18 08:33:00 Do you think the flashing cursor is from BIOS or GRUB?

I have had that with GRUB once, but can't remember what caused it or if I fixed it.

1167582 2011-01-18 23:17:00 Hi Agent_24

I have been presuming that it is Grub as the result is the same for both the mannual and menu selection. Also as the disk is recognised by made and serial number.

Would my reasoning be correct.

How do I check?

Thanks

1167583 2011-01-18 23:22:00 I don't know

I would try installing Linux using the netbook itself. You'd need a USB-connected CD drive though, I expect.

You should not have to - I installed Ubuntu onto my Eee NetBook using a pendrive with no issues at all.
