Okay,
I recently installed the newest edition of Xubuntu and I'm having a problem with getting the installation to work. For some reason, the boot sector hasn't been properly set up on my hard drive.
Before I installed Xubuntu, I ran a boot and nuke program to completely clear the hard drive. A couple of days ago I was having a hard time getting the operating system to even install on my hard drive. Now, that's not the case .... the boot sector isn't working for some purpose.
I'm attempting to run the operating system on an old hp pavillion 304w, which has the following Hardware specifications: (I'm not good with hardware specifications, so I'm only mentioning the few I know)
512 MB DDRAM (I'm not sure what type)
1.8/2.0 (not sure) GHZ AMD Processor
On board sound, video, lan
and the hard drive is a
20 GB Seagate HD -> ST320014A
Could someone help me figure out how to get this boot sector to be recognized. I have run seagates tool and have determined that my HD is a good HD.
Thanks
