trouble installing xubuntu and ubuntu


Hi,

Well basically my windows 7 system crashed a few days ago so i
went to use my system repair disk and i then realised half way through doing a fresh install of win 7 that i remembered i didnt burn the disk correctly so then my laptop wouldnt boot at all anymore i have had lots of trouble in the past with this laptop so i wanted to put ubuntu on it seen as it is free and i dont have the money to get it repaired at first ubuntu installed correctly but kept freezing and things so to cut a long story short i have been trying to reinstall ubuntu ever since (formatting the HDD with boot n nuke i think it is) formatting it through the live CD (disk utility) and just basically trying everything but it still kept freezing at the wireless screen during the installation so i decided to try another distro XUBUNTU but that also froze on the wireless page on the installation so i was advised to try the alternate ISO which i did and everything was going fine until it froze on 47% on the partitioning section, and i also forgot to mention that when i tried formatting the HDD on boot and nuke it also failed... i have run tests on the HDD but there are no errors and nothing wrong with it?

what can i do?

I'd recommend learning how to write! I seriously doubt many people will bother to finish reading your post as it is one long run-on sentence with very little correct punctuation making it a real pain to read. You also haven't given any specifics on your hardware. You should not need to have an internet connection, usually there is an option to download proprietary software later. If you don't have an option to download that software later, you need to get that resolved first. It would be useful if you posted some information on your hardware and which Ubuntu you are using.
