Hi,
I'm a newbie to Linux, and am trying to install Ubuntu 9.10 on an old IBM T21 laptop.
It starts very happily, and I am able to partition the disk & copy the files to the HDD.
However, when it loads the desktop there is an icon for the CD drive ( and install disk). Everything appears to be fine, but I don't see any confirmation of the installation being completed.
The CD drive does not open when the button is pressed.
When I restart the laptop, I get the message 'operating system not found'.
Starting the machine using the CD works fine. The disk shows that the partitions have been created, and I am told that Ubuntu 9.10 is installed.
Any help in resolving this issue would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks.
