I have a computer that has 2 separate installations of Windows XP. This was the result of purchasing a new HD and installing windows on the new hard drive but I was too lazy to move the files from the old hard drive to the new one.
I'm trying to wipe the old hard drive, put Ubuntu on it and run a dual boot setup.
Now here's the problem:
I'm running the install off the Ubuntu CD I burned. Everything loads up fine but it keeps getting stuck at step 4 where it tries to load up the Partition manager. I restarted a few times hoping that it would just work some how but that, obviously , didn't work since I'm here.
I pull the slave hard drive (the newer hard drive) out of the computer and tried again. The partition manager part loads this time but it does not show the drive I've been trying to install it on. Its just a blank list, and no errors pop up.
The system setup:
CPU - P4 2.26
Mobo - Asus P4T533-C
Gfx Card - GeForce3 Ti 200
Memory - 512 MB RDRAM
HD - 80GB WD, 250 GB WD
Optical Drives - 2 NEC DVD Burners
If you know what's going on let me know. Thanks ^_^
Edit: I'm installing Ubuntu 8.04 btw.
