Newbie question.

Hi

I am installing Ubuntu 10.10 server on my HP proliant microserver using the USB flash drive option. the install goes great until the time when it copies files for the setup (after the keyboard setup) and the error message comesw up (can't read CD rom drive)?
I have used serveral flash drives and used universal usb installer several times. however the installatioon alwasy gets stuck there. any suggestions/help?

thanks

I had the same problem with my proliant server.
I eventually got it working by downloading unetbootin.
http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/

And using the ubuntu 10.10_netinstall_x64 distibution.
You will need to have an active internet connection for this to work but because all files will be downloaded the error of looking for the cd rom drive is gone.
