[13:46] I am attempting to install Ubuntu on my new hard drive via a USB but it keeps coming up with "Uncompression error -- System halted". I'm guessing this means a problem with the USB I'm using to install. Would this be correct? [13:55] Taejix: when it boots press any key quickly. Then from the menu choose check disk for defects [13:55] Ah, thank you, will do. [13:58] I did as you suggested philinux, after selecting check disk for defects I immediately got the uncompression error again.
