it should eventually continue

unless your usb stick is bad

if you got any others

try a new one

and do a full format on it first

If you need remote help fixing something on your computer

I can help over Teamviewer if you wish

just msg me on my profile

Have you waited? Linux takes a long time to process... An installation took me several hours once.

once the install starts it will ask you step by step how you want it set up. I would just leave the default "use the whole drive" no need to set up full disk encryption if you don't need it.

great, thanks! Is overclocking the same with linux? because Id like to underclock my 8350 and set the fans on my radiator really low, this is going to be an htpc so silence is my aim

What kind of installation are you doing? That's way too long. I do installs in less than 25 minutes regularly...

Old HDD + Small Patition + Ubuntu Gnome = A long time

Overclocking is done in the bios not the OS so it shouldn't matter what OS you run.
