Ok, heres the deal, im trying to install linux on my other pc. The cd is good, because i used the same cd to install on my laptop. Heres what its doing.

After install, it says restart, i restart
It comes up and saying nothing to boot from.
I looked in bios the boot priority is set fine, and it sees the hard drive, but for some reason the machine wont boot to linux from the hard drive, it only boots to windows.

At first i thought it might a grub issue, but i didn't see anything in the install options for grub, or boot loader period.

Any ideas?

Do you want to dual-boot (Ubuntu & Windows), or do you want Ubuntu as the sole OS on the drive?
