Hi all,

When I installed 10.04 (desktop standard edition) I got through to the 4th (?) stage of the install - where you define where you want to install the OS, set up partitions, etc. It said that there was no root system defined.

It appeared to not be able to 'see' the hard-disk (which was there and works fine).

When I re-tried, by booting into the 'graphical' (live OS based) installer and selecting install it ran through OK (but note that this was only after a re-start, when I was kicked into the live OS after the original (non-live OS) failed, there was no sign of the HD).

In the end, it worked. But I think that it might be worth thinking about why it happened because some people would be really put off with it not 'just working', as it were.

best,
