Complete Linux novice btw. I'm currently running Vista and have just added a second SATA hd which I would like to install ubuntu on to. Downloaded the iso and installed it to my second clean hd via wubi, when I boot I get the option of vista or ubuntu, if I select ubunto I get the error code 0xc000000e and it says something about wubildr.mbr and won't boot, though vista is still fine.
I uninstalled it and reformatted the drive, burned the iso to a CD and booted from my DVD drive, I get a screen with the ubuntu logo, select english from the list and they select the install option, an orange bar goes back and forth for a bit then the screens go black and a load of white text starts scrolling up, most lines said something about "error" and "bad request" - I left this and it continued for about 45 mins before I gave up, on a couple of occasions I got one dark blue screen and the other had multi colour vertical lines. I've tried the first option (forget what it was called now, the option to just run ubuntu and then install from within there) and get the same problem. I've tried burning different discs at different speeds with different iso burner software and nothing works :( I d/l kubuntu and have exactly the same problem.
I've spent ages scouring google and forums for a resolution but can't find anything, is there any way I can install ubuntu on to my second hd and have the option of which OS to boot? PC specs are:
AMD Athlon64 X2 dual core 4400
2gb RAM
nvidia GeForce 6600GT
Dell PC
Thanks for any help :)
