Wow. What a piece of shit that Ubuntu is. If only he installed Windows, he

would be up and running within an hour. Oops.



Should send him a sympathy card.

Rather peculiar. I have it currently running on a SATA drive. Complete

install took about 20 minutes. Oops.

Tell that to the poor guy who can't install. If he used Windows he would be

working.

My Toshiba Netbook has a SATA drive and that CAME with Linux installed.

Installing new versions is a breeze, unlike XP where you need to provide

third-party drivers to install on a SATA drive...

If you even bothered to read the forum thread, no where did it

say that you can't install it on an SATA drive. I have as well

as others.



The OPs question was........



"I just wondered if there were any known issues with installing

Ubuntu on SATA drives or if this is being caused by some other

issue."



And the answer is...."No, there are no known issues."

Not true with the new motherboards. No floppy needed to install XP or

Ubuntu on a SATA drive.

Simply not true. If he installed Windows he would have a good working

machine, but he is stuck with that crappy Ubuntu that he will figure out

very shortly is just junk. Maybe I should reply to his post and let him

know!

You must have reading comprehension problems. He said, "I am trying to

install 9.10 Desktop, i386, on a 500GB SATA drive. The computer uses AMD

dual-core processors. I can't remember the type of motherboard off-hand it

might be an Abit. The drive has been zero-filled from previous installations

of other operating systems. (I have also tried installing the 64-bit

version. When I try this, I get a black screen with the cursor blinking in

the top left-hand corner for several minutes before the screen goes blank.".





Seems to me that his screen went black. Sounds like an issue to me. Oops.



He then states:



When I boot the computer I get the screen to choose the language. Then I get

the screen for the various options (run without changing the computer,

install, etc.). When I hit "Install", I get a screen with the Ubuntu logo in

white which "pulses". After a few minutes of this the screen goes completely

blank and there is no more activity. I have tried choosing other options

without success.



Sounds like he has a problem. You have a problem also. You have no

reading comprehension. No wonder, you use Ubuntu!! LOL!





He then says:



I just wondered if there were any known issues with installing Ubuntu on

SATA drives or if this is being caused by some other issue.





The above statement is what you remember. I suggest not drinking or doing

drugs before posting.



LOL!

I suggest you re-read what you post before *trying* to put me

down.



The guy had problems and asked if there was a known issue with

SATA drives. I never denied he had a problem.



You claimed that Ubuntu couldn't be installed on an SATA

drive.



I simply proved that your claim is false, and not what that

article states at all.

I don't want to register on the Ubuntu forum and reply. I think he already

knows that Windows is the right choice. Just give him a little more time.

It maybe be false for others but for him it seems to be true. You purposely

My Netbook is only one year old. Needs third-party drivers to install XP on

the SATA in the Bios in which case XP will install normally without
