Newbie - Buffer I/O error

[diesela4]

Hello folks, i have been trying to install 8.04.1 today to no avail.
Below are the machine specs:

Abit AB9 Pro Motherboard
Intel E6600 1.8Ghz Dual Core
ATI X19050 Pro GFX Card
3 HDs
1 DVD-RW drive
No Floppy Drive
Windows Vista Installed

I get the CD to boot find and loads me at the menu to select “Install Ubuntu”, I hit it and the orange progress bar shows for a few min then the screen becomes test with the flowing error:
“Buffer I/O error on device fd0 – logical block 0”

It does show other stuff but it keeps looping to the above error and sits there spooling out text then back to the error

Thoughts??

cheers

It looks like it trying to find the floppy drive, try adding "all_generic_ide" as a boot option.
At the main menu press F6 and add at the end of the line

all_generic_ide then enter.

You may also want to check if the BIOS thinks there is a floppy drive hooked up. If so, disable it.

got the floppy sorted, disabled it in the bios but now am getting a new screen with BusyBox on it and just a cmd line interface

now am lost
