Comment 14 for bug 998292

Once again, as previously stated, Wubi is for DESKTOP ONLY. NOT SERVER EDITION. Wubi will FORCE the install of 12.04 DESKTOP edition. If there is a Wubi for SERVER edition, please post the URL as I am unable to find it.

I've used both UnetBootIn and Universal. Neither of them work on this computer. Both of them have worked on other computers.

For drill, I loaded 12.04 on the USB drive again using UnetBootIn which you trust. System boots up on the USB drive just fine. I then select "Install Ubuntu SERVER" (not desktop) and press enter. The screen goes black.... and that's it! I let it sit there for an hour. Nothing! NOTHING WORKS!! IT'S DEAD! I rebooted and tried other options. NOTHING! DEAD! "it's dead Jim!" "It's dead!"

I don't understand how you are able to so quickly arrive to that conclusion!?! The upgrade from Lucid to Precise is what jacked up my boot partition to begin with! It TRASHED a perfectly good working server!! Refer to Bug #995144 which caused the initial problem. Now I can't even reinstall the OS!! This is absolutely maddening!!

We seem to be focusing on the boot disk. I don't think that is the problem. It's booting up just fine. The problem seems to be with how Ubuntu handles the install. Is there any diagnostics program that we can run which will determine why Ubuntu is hanging?
