Next step is installing the lubuntu on my old PC i attached the USB flash to the old PC and start hitting F8 and choose the flash drive to boot from it everything is alright till now. then the menu appears started with Default then Try lubuntu with out install and other options THE PROBLEM IS that when i choose any option by clicking Enter everything freeze and i cant use the keyboard so i must power off or restart the PC And plz note that i cant find the usb flash drive in the boot device priority i only find it in the menu when i pressing F8 (please select boot device screen) And note that I think the hard drive was facing some issues in the past oh i forget to say that the lubuntu on the flash drive working fine in another computer Please guys i need ur help and thank u in advance ^_^
If it were my machine, first thing I'd do is uninstall AVG, then I'd run the system file checker (sfc /scannow) and if that didn't help, do a Windows repair install. Failing that, use whatever built-in system restore utility you have to bring the machine back to out-of-the-box configuration. Of course if you have a system restore point or system image to return to an earlier state try them. If all of that failed, download Windows 7 via links provided by this forum, verify the download and reinstall Windows. As far as Linux goes, I prefer LinuxMint Cinnanmon. 17 is what I have; there may be a later version. And then again, you may have to face the fact your Asus p5sd2 is at the end of its useful life.
