Hi. I am a newb at linux, because i have never worked with it before. but i can edit the BIOS and everything ok.
This computer has 1 new HDD, and NO DUAL BOOT
I just installed ubuntu server edition, which went well, except i couldn't connect via wi-fi. Didn't matter, moved on. I installed it on a new 200GB Maxtor hard-drive. I removed the old one, since my (really) old Pentinum III computer only had 1 3.5" Bay. The first time, the disc was scratched, and after partitioning, it brung up loads of package errors. I made a new disc, and the partitioner i think formatted the old partition and used that (I HAVE 1 PARTITION). After installing, i got a prompt to restart.
I did this, then afterwards i got this:
Verifying DMI Pool Data .........
Boot from ATAPI CD-ROM : Failure ...
GRUB Loading stage1.5
GRUB loading, please wait...
Error 18
And it hangs forever
Thanks in advance!
