19.04 won't boot after installation
I installed 19.04 on a Windows 7 laptop after being prompted to restart, it just gave me a black screen with a cursor. It stayed like that for about 20 minutes before I turned it off and on again. Same thing. When I try to F12 and reinstall, it just freezes on the Dell screen. I loaded 18.04.2 on the USB stick to try and load an older version. When the computer turns on it goes to the Ubuntu purple screen with the five dots. It's been there for about an hour. What do I do?

Ubuntu 19.04 is off-topic here as it's not released yet. For the problem with 18.04.2 installation, did you verify the iso before making a bootable disk?

When your 18.04.2 boots and you see keyboard-thing-in-rectangle & person-in-circle quickly press a key and you'll get a menu appear which offers the option to check-install-media.

If I can't prompt it to boot from USB, how do I know it's not still trying to run the 19.04?
