Ubuntu install issue

[homebrewers.retail]

Another question here. I installed Ubuntu (12.04 I thing, the ones with the LT support?), was previously using Windows 7. Now when I boot, I get the option to use Windows 7 or Ubuntu, but when I select Ubuntu nothing happens - just a black screen. I then have to power off by holding down the power switch and select Win 7?
Any ideas?

No. Don't format your computer. Did you use the offical ISO? If so try using http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/ to put the ISO on a flash drive then boot ubunto from the flash drive, and it will give you an option to install or try ubunto.

Who is managing your boot? During the ubuntu install, you were given the option of installing GRUB. What did you pick here?

If you have already installed ubuntu incorrectly, format the part of the hardisk reserved for ubuntu and follow the steps in the video :)

Good Luck
