Do you have the system installed on the hard drive? If yes, then why are you checking the CD? If no, then how about asking Google first?

Have you changed anything hardware related recently?

I'm sure this question could best be answered on the Ubuntu Forums.

I had this problem with an install once before...not sure WHY ...but I know I missed a step I normally take when installing ANY new OS on any PC....Which would be Low Level formating the hard Drive...


Grab yourself a copy of the Ultimate Boot CD I don't know what I would do without it sometimes....it has tools for almost every Hard drive out there...and even some generic tools...plus a whole slew of nifty tools for all kinds of things you never knew you needed
