Installing Lucid Lynx Inside Windows XP Taking So Long


So I installed Lucid Lynx inside XP in an external hard drive. It took 24 hours for me to install Ubuntu Gnome. Not that I was able to install it in one go—Ubuntu was just taking so long to install. It took me about 10 attempts to install it and then cancel the installation because it would stall for no reason.

I wondered what made the installation to stall whenever it was at the part where it is downloading the lucid lynx iso.

Well, I got it right when I did what should be done in installing programs—closed all running programs. So to be sure I restarted my PC and closed all running programs that start automatically during start up, except of course for the anti-virus, firewall. and applications initiated by Windows. It was done in 10 minutes.
