Hey guys,
I have searched around but haven't found much of an answer to my problem.
here are my stats for future reference:
Macbook 3rd gen (3.1) with 10.5 OS X (Leopard). 1GB RAM, 2ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, 25 GB free space... Pretty standard Macbook about 2 years ago...
I have read through all the public documentation on the uBuntu website and nothing seems to address my specific problem. I have created 2 Live CDs. I made one with Windows 7 disc imager and another with Infra Recorder. I am no "noob" to burning disc images, so I am certain its correct. Everything appears correct and the disc is fine when viewing in Windows. But, when I put it into my Macbook it gives some error about it, so I think I will just restart.
I restart, and hold option. The drive selector comes up. I sit and wait and wait... no disc shows up. So, I test out my CDRom to make sure its working right with my Mac OS X install CD. It works just fine and the CD shows up on holding option.
So, I try using Bootcamp Assistant to see if that will do me any good (at this point I could live without Mac OS X) and it sits there forever checking the drive, then gives me some error about the journal on the HD and I need to use Disk Utility. So I used Disk Utility and check for HD errors and verify. Everything seems fine and legit. It still gives me hell in Bootcamp.
So, right now I am making a partition in Disk Utility to see if that will do me any good. Its been about 15 mins stuck on "Modifying Partition Map" and hasn't done much else.
Though, I have a feeling that isn't going to make much of a difference since it can't seem to recognize my disc at boot.
Please help!
