IBM/Lenovo T60 Thinkpad
I've removed my cd/dvd rom and replaced with an ultrabay with a PATA hard disk.
I've put the Ubuntu 9.10 image onto a 2Gb Lexar USB stick (which is brand new), for installation on the PATA drive.
The problem seems to be that it will not boot.
I have booted Damn Small Linux on another USB stick in that machine with no problems.
I've tried loading the .iso image from my desktop's hard drive and also through a download direct to the USB stick.
With the image from my hard drive the message is "Invalid system disk
Replace the disk, and press any key"
The message from the downloaded image was different - it just said Grub error 15
Any ideas what's gone wrong here?
