Help Please... I have loaded UBUNTU 11.10 previously on my system along side Windows XP and never had a problem with the install. My current problem is that when I try to load UBUNTU (I've tried both 11.10 and 12.04) I get a report at the beginning setup page: "The disk drive for dva / sda5 drive not ready or not present. Wait or strike S to skip mount, or strike M for manual recovery." I have tried all three options on separate efforts and all efforts have resulted in the same load/setup failure. As before, I'm using a partition on the same drive (C Drive, formatted NTFS) as windows.
What is the problem and (more importantly) how do I fix it? I will be glad to follow this thread OR receive email responses (if they are helpful). Thanks for being here and hopefully helping me in this dilemma.
