Public bug reported:
I started to upgrade my installation of Ubuntu 10.10 on my dual boot
desktop machine to Ubuntu 11.04. This machine has two hard drives - one
for Windows and the other for Ubuntu.
The upgrade appeared to proceed normally until it got to the stage near
the end where it asks whether to keep the original boot menu and
suggested keeping the original. After pressing "Forward" there was some
activity regarding the installation of the new system and then it
stopped. The hard disc light was permanently on but not flashing and the
computer was totally unresponsive
I left it like this for about 15 minutes and when nothing further
happened switched the computer off thinking/hoping that the installation
would carry on from where it left off. On re-booting there was a new
boot menu offering the new (but incomplete) installation. "Recovery
Mode", "Other versions of Ubuntu" and Windows.
I tried booting into all the options relating to Ubuntu but nothing
happened apart from "Recovery" mode where there was a small amount of
activity but it soon hung. The only option in the boot that worked was
booting into Windows.
Is it possible to continue the installation from where it hung, perhaps
by using the live CD, or is it a case of having to do a fresh install.
Unfortunately I have the old system backed up onto an 8 GB USB memory
stick which seems to have "died"
Can anyone help, please?
