By selecting /dev/sda you are installing it to the HD itself and not a specific partition. It's better to select an actual partition such as /dev/sda1. Select the same partition that you are going...

Alright. It may be that your GRUB didn't install correctly last time.

Make sure when you are going through the install, you select the correct partition for the GRUB to be installed on and you...

Alright, that's good about the boot flag.

And no worries with the GRUB sequence. Below is a link to another thread and if you look about half way down the first thread you will see a quote from...

If you run a fdisk -l, does the partition show up with a * next to it indicating that it is flagged as a boot partition?

Also, by the sounds of that error, it looks like your GRUB didn't install...

Yeah, give that a try and if any problems come up, post back and we'll work throug them.

That's interesting. Try opening up a terminal windows and type:

gksudo gparted

Try starting up gparted and looking at your USB drive. Based on your fdsik results, it shows that none of your partitions are flagged as the boot partition. You should be able to set this in...

Just a tip for resizing:
It's always wise to defrag your drive a few times to ensure the most amount of free space is in one block. That will help prevent against data loss during the resize.

I know the feeling. Well, with a little patience and lots of trial and error, I'm sure we'll get it working. :)

Yes, even if the cd was bad it could still boot and some even begin the install process.

You may want to try to burn another CD, possibly using another program that will burn it even slower. I've...

Well post back with the results. Hopefully things will work better with straight 8.10. I haven't heard of too many people having trouble with their wired connections.

Glad you got it fixed.

No Problem. Glad you got it running.

Still no luck even with the wired connection?

If you can get the wired connection, then the wireless shouldn't be too hard after that.

So you installed the restricted drivers and then what happened? What's the resolution problem?

Also did you try the xfix option?

Wow, thanks Jim. I completely missed where he mentioned the Ubuntu loading bar on my first read.

Cadeyrn,
Yeah, you're problem certainly isn't the GRUB then. Sorry I didn't catch that.

Well, let's hope that you have better luck with that. Let us know how it goes.

If you use the Super Grub Disk you shouldn't need the Ubuntu Live CD. Just download the Super Grub Disk .iso and burn it to a cd and reboot with it in your tray. If you have to, press the...

Understandable with a slow connection.

I don't know if you got the chance to take a look at the Super Grub Disk, but it's only around a 4mb download so that shouldn't be too painful. At least...

The Super Grub Disk works great or if you really wanted to, you could download and burn your own version of the Ubuntu LiveCD.

If you're going to be using Ubuntu, I recommend keeping a current...

If you could be a little more specific on what you're trying to install, we could help a little bit more.

As suggested by maybeway36, most things can be installed through Add/Remove Programs and...

muxenle,

Alright, I did some research on your Card (the Forum Search works great) and came up with a thread that has numerous people with the same issue that were able to resolve it.

EDIT:...

muxenle,

Try going to System>Administration>Hardware Drivers to see if you card requires any restricted drivers. If so, you will see it listed and you will be able to enable it.

When you first get to the LiveCD boot menu, try pressing F4 and selecting one of the alternate options for starting up.

It may be that there is a driver conflict that needs to be resolved and by...

Yeah, that could be. They may have changed the icon for the Network Manager for the Studio version. What you can try doing is right click on the task bar and select Add to Task Bar (or something...
