Do you see Grub, it is the menu with Linux and Windows to choose from?
If so, have you tried recovery mode?

Can you boot from the cd, without installing linux again? run

Code:

sudo fdisk -l

in a terminal, paste output here.

Code:

sudo fdisk -l

l is a lower case L, not 1 the number!

Can you give some more information about when the system freezes? How far does the system get before you arrive at the blank screen?
