From your other, duplicate thread:
Code:
please help me instal linux mint, i am unable to install since last year i tried sp hard to run but it always tell me hdd may be old or need to move cooler place.
If you've honestly been trying to install Mint for a *YEAR*, perhaps you'd be best off using whatever is on your computer now. And you don't tell us what you've done/tried so far, nor what exactly the message(s)/error(s) you're getting are, so what do you think we'll be able to tell you???
As said, Mint has easy to follow installation guides on their website; read and follow them. Otherwise, post what you have done, where you're stuck, and give exact details.
Assuming you have a problem with temperature or your hard disk...
Have you successfully run any other OS's on this computer?
Roughly how old is the hard disk and how old is the machine?
I used to have an issue installing Linux on my Desktop.
The issue was not the OS but desktop processor heat sink was not sitting properly. Therefore, installation works for a while and when the processor heats up everything goes south.
What is the specs of your computer? Is it a new one or it was sitting on the garage for a while and decided to used it again?
