I have an aspire one with an 8 gig ssd.
The first time I tried to install UNR 9.10 Ubuntu could not format the drive. Now I have discovered that if I format the drive with gparted and leave the first 8mb unformatted I can assign the rest of the disk a file system. After doing this I tried installing again. The installation stopped at 95% and said that it couldnt install grub.
So on the next attempt on the final installation page before installation I clicked on advanced and changed the grub installation from /dev/sda to /dev/sda1 (same location as my ubuntu install). The installation was successful and reached 100%. When I restarted however, after the normal aspire one startup screen, Ubuntu doesn't boot up. all that is displayed is a cursor.
How do I get this OS to bootup?:confused:
