I have a HP pavilion 526x with 1gig of memory with a 80gig western digital enhanced ide HD as my primary master, model # WD800eb-00DJF0 and a Sony cdrw as my secondary master.
I created a primary dos partition and formatted the drive, installed ubuntu 8.10 desktop edition cd, got to the partition manager and selected the entire disk.
It verified, then following partitions are going to be formatted:
partition #1 of SCSI 1 (0.0.0) (sda) as ext 3
partition # 5 of SCSI 1 (0.0.0) (sda) as swap.
Loads fine, I restart get to log in and enter password and get all I get is a blank screen with just my mouse pointer?
If I disconnect the WD HD and connect it to my HD that has windows xp pro on it, no problems booting.
