I have an Amilo pro V2020 (my 1st ever laptop).
Has anybody else had problems with the power cutting out when installing an OS?
This happened to me recently when attempting to install both windows XP and ubuntu 7.10.
Whilst doing the ubuntu install in safe graphics mode, a message appeared that critical temperature was being reached, so the machine was shutting down.
I found that if I removed the battery, it went through the installation with no problems.
