Hi there,
I'm a linux newbie hoping to replace Vista on one of my desktop machines. So far the process has been frustrating as I find that Ubuntu doesn't run out of the box on any of my hardware which is fairly standard.
I tried running live CD and also installing it with wubi but I keep running into the same error every time:
"init ramfs Unable to find a medium containing a live file system
/dev/sda3 does not exist."
Any idea how to fix this? I've looked at other posts but they all require me to run a terminal window once booted up. The problem is it never gets that far.
I do have it running via Virtualbox but I want to actually install it. Will doing a fresh install and using gparted to partition the drive and then install Linux on that solve the problem?
