Hey!

Im trying to install xubuntu LTS, as double boot with windows, on my laptop using an usb but when I enter the installation it freezes up and it is not able to complete the process. 

I have checked ,on another computer (scince in mine it won't even work that), the state of the installer usb and It is okay.

I also tried trying first Xubuntu but it just freezes before it is able to run it.

I have enable the virtualization option on the BIOS (I saw on a ubuntu forum that it might work) but it didnt work either.

 

is there anything else I can try?

Your best bet for Linux support, since HP does not provide Linux support to consumers, not does it provide Linux drivers, is to contact the support forum for the Linux distro you are trying to install.

 

Since Xubuntu is actually Ubuntu but with a different UI,   in this case, you should contact the Ubuntu Forums:  http://ubuntuforums.org/

Folks there have experience using HP machines with Linux and know a lot about driver sources and installation issues.
 
Good Luck
