Re: [ros-general] Problem installing 0.3.16

[PS]

Hi Stephanos!

Try an operating system which is bootable from USB-Stick or Rescue-CD.

If the Notebook starts up with (e.g.) Ubuntu, then provide some 
diagnostic-tools to check the HardDrive and the memory. Maybe 
PackardBell has something on their website.

Good luck!
