After reading a lot about Ubuntu I decided to try it today. But despite all the reading and searching I have done I cannot get it to install to any of my machines. I tried almost all the current versions, in all the machines and I am ready to give up. As a last resort I decided to take the last futile installation on my main pc and try to ask for some help. I downloads (3 times) Ubuntu 10.10, I have tried installing it with Wubi, Cd , USB and failed miserably. Most of the time it will boot in the (?) purple desktop and stop there. A few times. a window popped about a wired connection and last time I got a screen looking like this :
stdin: error 0
[random number]Buffer I/O error on device fd0, logical block 0
-//- end_request: I/O error, dev fd0 sector o
Which it would repeat for quite a while with different numbers
And then
stdin: I/O error
stdin: error 0
My pc runs on a q6600 , 4gb RAM, nvidia 295gtx. Motherboard is the old P5k. My HD is partitioned in 3 smaller parts, 1 for windows 7, 1 for downloads and 1 for ubuntu in which i tried in vain to install.
I tried the noacpi noacpi stuff when I was using Wubi but I have not found how to start the live cd/USB since the downloadable version is apparently the alternate one only. I tried downloading it 2 more times from the main page, but no success. What am I doing wrong here?
