So today I decided that I would put Linux (Ubuntu to be exact) on my laptop that I don't use as I have been wanting to get Linux for a while now, so I downloaded it and I figured the best way to put it on my laptop would be to put the .iso file onto my external hard drive (I would have used a flash drive, but I don't know where mine is currently) in order to boot it from there. This is, however, as far as I have gotten, as for the last long while the copier has said that it only has to transfer 1 MB and it would take 5 seconds.
It's been like that for around 10 minutes at least. I left it going in the hopes it would finish, but so far nothing. The blue light on my hard drive keeps flashing, meaning something is happening in there, but I don't know if it's just trying and failing to copy, or what the case is.
So should I stop and try later or what?
Thanks.
EDIT: I don't know what happened, but it just finished, so I'm good.
