# Reinstall OS on 2019 Lambda Dual

## post by sterling on Oct 30, 2024

I’ve got a Lambda Dual we purchased for a faculty member in 2019 that I want to reinstall the OS on. I downloaded the 22.04 jammy recovery image, but am wondering if that is not the correct way? When installing I get an error that the boot loader cannot be installed and am forced to cancel. Should I just use a generic Ubuntu image? Some other method?

The system is a Lambda Dual, Intel Core i9-9980XE (18 Cores, 3.00 GHz), 128GB RAM, 2x RTX 2080 Ti Blowers with NVLink, and the OS drive is a 2TB NVMe SSD.
