I'm trying to install Ubuntu 12.04 a 3-year old Samsung i3 which has a new hard drive.

For some reason, the laptop will not recognize a USB or DVD and I can't find a CD that will hold the 708MB file.

How can I install Ubuntu under these conditions?

  • Make sure the USB or DVD is created using the appropriate software and the ISO file is not corrupted. – user68186 Sep 05 '13 at 19:17

if you cant repair the problem with usb or dvd, try a minimal disk(less than 100MB if I'm correct). write it on a cd and install all packages(such as ubuntu-desktop) by apt-get install .... however this way you should have a high speed Internet access on you desired laptop.
