Hello all,
This is the first time I've installed Ubuntu or any kind of linux. I just tried to install it from my laptop on my external hard drive, Western Digital 500gb. Now when I try to boot from the external hard drive it gives me the message "No operating system installed" and will not boot into Ubuntu. I installed it from the LiveCD (Ubuntu 8.04) on a 15gb partition on it and installed the GRUB bootloader also onto that partition. What am I doing wrong?
I can boot into Vista (which I am using now) from my internal hard drive fine, but not into ubuntu from my external.
My laptop has the following specs:
AMD Turion64 TL60 (2.0Ghz dual core)
2048mb RAM
Geforce go 7600 with 344mb dedicated memory
