I have wasted over 10 hours attempting to begin an Utuntu install from CD. Version 9.04. I need to install on an external HD, and the only option available for that is to perform a Manual Partition.
Once I am presented with a list of hard drives I choose the external HD. I then choose New Partition Table. I select Continue from the dialog box that pops up. After I do that the screen flashes for less than 1 second, and starts over.
I have repeated this at least 50 times, with the same result. I do not get the page to create a new Partition Table.
I have tried rebooting from CD and I get the same result.
I have created a new Ubuntu CD and I get the same result.
i have done the CD check and it shows that the CD is good.
I have checked memory and it checks out OK.
There are absolutely no error messages of any kind. The screen flashes for less than 1 second and puts me back to the start of the partitioning exercise.
At this point I am completely fed up with Ubuntu install. What is going on?
Thanks.
