Hi everyone,
I am trying to install Ubuntu on a second partition in able to dual boot it with XP Pro. I have attached a picture of the error that keeps occurring.
This is what I have tried so far:
Well, the computer boots from the CD, I choose "Install Ubuntu", the bar loads, and then I get this screen I attached. I left it for around 5 minutes to see if it will work and nothing happened. The screen went black after a while.
I have read about such errors occurring with SATA drives but mine is an IDE. Some users said it was because of a floppy drive, and I do not have that. Others said that turning ACPI off from the BIOS should do it. I did that and nothing changed.
I would really appreciate your help since I am new to Linux.
Thank you,
