ok my friend bought a new laptop, DELL Inspiron 1525 T8300 Core 2 Duo 2.4GH.
i tried to install several versions of ubuntu on it; 8.04 using a pre-ordered Live CD and 8.10 using a burnt iso on a CD and on a flash memory using the new awsome tool which worked perfect on my pc and other laptops.
anyway, everything works perfect untill 94% of the setup and it gives me a fatal error when installing the grub bootloader.
he has vista and xp both pre-installed on his laptop. we tried turning off the S-SATA even though w know its irrelevant but just in case...
could having both xp and vista loaded onto his vista bootloader be the problem?
any ideas?
thnx in advance :D
