Hey SEA:

Thanks for getting back. I understand the command (I think). So, I must once again D/l iso, then run command and in place of path/to/file.iso, I insert the downloaded .iso from my "files" (the file I D/l it to (?). So, correct me if this is the wrong command:

sudo dd if=(insert D/l iso here) of=/dev/sdb1. Now, I sorta did this with the last install only I used the "USB image Writer" provided in LM17 to put the .iso on pendrive. Did I do something wrong?

Some folks are getting upset with me(and I too, in return) stating I must have a corrupt .iso (could be) and should be checking with md5sum. I got the .iso from the LinuxMint website--www.linuxmint.com/download.php-Download-linuxmint I don't know, but I would guess this to be a safe site from which to D/l the .iso. So, is it possible that I must D/l a certain .iso just for HP? Well, as you see, one question just morphs into many. And thus, I have been getting frustrated. I'm not upset with you, I'm upset because I believe Linux/Ubuntu should be and is a "simple" O.S. and therefore believe problems should have simple "fixes"...this is not the case (or is it?)! Thanks so much for you help!!
Rick
