Fedora messed up my comp....

[jedwinjim]

Hi, just made the switch over to linux from windows, started with ubuntu which was all good, but wanted to mess around and see others and how they compare. SO I moved on to Fedora 10, it installed fine, but after a few days I decided I wanted to go back to ubuntu. So I insert my xp disc to wipe the partition clean, only my screen now goes blank after the "setup is inspecting your hardware configuration" screen.... I've also tried reinstalling ubuntu on the same partition as fedora only to be now met with a "ubuntu failed to install due to hardware configuration failure" message....


I need to wipe fedora and start all over, anyone now how this is going to be possible?? any help MUCH appreciated!!

hi it isn't a case of fedora messing up your comp,but a case of reformatting just delete the partition and reformat to fat32 making sure to set fstab and then try reloading windows.
you can use live cd to repartition it is always easiest kanotix is my favourite for this procedure,once windows can be read you can then reformat in NTFS if you wish.
hope this sorts your issue ,good luck.

You should have used fedora 9 to start with as it is more complete and has all the benefits of 10 with less issues,mine is sweeeeeeet!!
