Problem booting after downloading latest update.

[Arrocuda]

Ran the badblock utility and it threw up almost 4000 errors,  :-\  All clear for the first 14 g/b then error after error in consecutively numbered blocks of four.  Looks as though the HDD is well on its way out.  I can't complain cos I acquired this laptop off of my partner when she decided it was too big and decided to treat herself to a new notebook a few years back.  Not the most powerful machine I have, but has been a useful spare laptop for lesser duties.

Will be loading Lite on the replacement.  Deffo the best of the lightweight distro's for general purpose use and I must have tried most all of them by now.

Thanks for the heads up....
