Got a SATA DVD, and when I boot the Linux installation I get something called "busybox".
When I use my IDE DVD, the same doesn't happen.

How do I install from the SATA drive? Since my HDD is IDE, and my motherboard only has one IDE cable, I have to open the case and put the DVD next to it everytime I install Ubuntu.

From the startup screen select F6. Delete the end of the kernel line "quiet splash --." add, "all_generic_ide"
