Did you verify the ISO file with a virtual machine?

Hi ! I am Using Ubuntu 10.04 64 bit. I backup my system with remastersys and I burn the iso file (slowly 4x) on a dvd. There was no problem on the process to backup and burning. I reboot the machine but when i type “live,install,check…” on boot line it gives always the same error:

loading casper/vmlinuz………………………………
could not find ramdisk image: /casper/initrd.gz

it types again “boot:” and it is waiting for me to write again what i want to do ( : live,install,check…). I will be happy if someone helps me here about my problem ? (Note: I am not sure but i had the same problem also on Ubuntu 9.1 32 bit.)

Thank you!

First off is your USB modem the MD400 variety that you use over the cellular (mobile) phone 3g network? It should pick it up in Ubuntu without any scripting (but always backup the custom script) as a 'dial up' modem or even better in the 'mobile broadband' of your network settings… I have yet to find one that doesn't…

If it is not and goes through the telephone line as ADSL broadband, get a router and connect to it via a network cable from PC to router, then router to phone line – no drivers neede…

It is in the /home directory. (Note: it is not your user home directory. You got to go to Filesystem->Home)

I have Ubuntu 9.04 wubi, so I run in split mode. I want to get rid of windows.

steps
back up my ubuntu 9.04 on an external hard drive.
boot from the external hard drive.. reinstalling ubuntu only.

that make sense…

@Cole: You can try to mount the iso file and access the content inside.

@Damien. Thanks for the response. So I had managed to intall it and did the backup but on restarting my machine i got this error.

“Installation Problem
the configuration default for Gnome Power management have not been installed correctly.”

Am sure the back up thing is just what I need. I think the backup filled the HD and that’s where the problem began. Which why I needed to back up in the first place so that I could move to a bigger HD.

Any idea how to access what was backed up would be highly appreciated.
Again Thanks.
