Was going to install ubuntu on my new harddrive but it simply wont work, first of was creating the following partitions

First: /
Secound: swap
Third: /home

but that didn't work since I did get a error message saying that third partition coulden't be created, so I changed it to one partition and a swap. Then did I get errno 30 saying that /usr/*/mozzilla was read only. All in all was I not able to complete the installation so the question is, are my harddrive broken or am'I unlucky and should give it a new try?

The new harddrive is SATA while my old drive was IDE could this really have a inpact?
Sorry for horrible spelling and grammatics :(
