[Marwan Sultan]

hello,

Well, I did what im doing since 7 years on desktops! just inserted the cd, 
startedup the laptop
and asked for installation, then the normal procedures, you know? 
partitioning..etc..
when the installation done, i removed the cd and restarted, but the laptop 
freeze..on a black screen, blank, nothing..

Do i have to do any speciall thing during installation,
