    Help with Ubuntu / BIOS!

    Hello! I am new to the linux community (And linux in general).

    I have recently formatted my Acer Aspire One AOD250 Netbook from Windows XP and Installed Ubuntu 10.10 Netbook edition. However, when I attempt to boot Ubuntu, nothing happens! And my Netbook screams in terror every time I press a key (Meaning, it beeps loudly). If anyone can help that would be great...

    P.s.
    I am beginning to think it is the BIOS and I need some sort of linux version for that model...

    I don't think your problem has anything to do with the Bios. My Model Acer Aspire One is older than yours. I don't run Unity. And it dualboots Just fine with XP (which I left on for the Wife). Maybe a hotkey is stuck or something as your issue may be hardware maybe, though not booting up sounds like a borked install.
