After several years, I've FINALLY taken the plunge into Linux. I just got an Asus 1001p netbook so I figured this would be a great opportunity to get my feet wet. With that said, please bare with me - while I'm fairly comfortable with various flavors of Windows installations, this is my first time trying to set up any Linux distribution.
Short of it is, when I try to boot, I get the message "Reboot and select proper boot device" message.
I downloaded "ubuntu-9.10-netbook-remix-i386.iso" and burned it to a CDR which I used to install onto the netbook. I chose the regular install option as opposed to the try ubuntu option (or something along those lines). As far as I could tell, the install went fine. I got to the desktop and noodled around some of the sections. But I noticed while I was checking out the sections, it was still reading from the external DVD/CD reader. As mentioned, when I try to reboot, I get the "Reboot and select proper boot device" message.
The boot priority is set appropriately in bios, the turbo boot has been disabled, I tried setting the SSD both to AHCI and IDE. In case it matters, I just upgraded my 1001p with 2GB of RAM (checked to make sure it worked fine before attempting the UNR install) and also replaced the HDD with a 60GB Vertex SSD.
Thanks for any advice.
