Hey ubuntu people, for the past days i've been trying to install ubuntu 10.4 on my hp pavilion dv7 laptop



i've created the disk succesfully and when i then boot from the disk i get to the splash screen, hit any key, choose language, hit try before install

then i get some black screen (like the windows command promt) with some errors just repeating itself like every 3 seconds

its something like:

ata1.00 status: (drdy err)
ata1.00 failed to read command xxxx
emask, (something) (something) (something)
(some numbers)
EH completed


i've tried with some diffrent bootparametres in that f6-line-thing you know but nothing seems to work :(

i've also tried both the desktop and the netbook version from both USB and CD, same same...

can it have something to do with my hdd as its named something like:
ST9500325AS ATA Device

Also my computers grapich card is:
ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4530


sorry if its a bit confusing and sorry for my english :)
