I have a ccorrupted upgrade to 12.10 how do I fix

[Farrell Swain]

I upgraded to 12.10 today and it was corrupted. Iam even on-line through a file on my Desktop I opened with fireFox. I downloaded it again at the library and have it on usb but can't use it to boot. I am booting I belive with an older grub. I can't rember the version I used to boot. So Maybe a frsh install off the disc if I could make it bootable?
