Subject: OT: Building a Computer, Unable to read from disk during install (Ubuntu)
Hi,

Just built a new computer and having some minor problems. First time
building one so I'm not surprised that something went wrong. It boots
up to cmos fine and shows a dvd rom and a hdd. So I install Ubuntu and
it says 'unable to read from disk' even though the installer started
up and everything. I chose 'Install Ubuntu'. Tried a knoppix cd and
got a similar error, it dropped me to a basic shell and did nothing
after that. I rebooted and went into CMOS and it shows no
Master/Slaver selected. How do you do that? I don't see any jumpers to
set. I remember having to set jumpers a long time ago when I actually
did some work on hardware. Any suggestions as to what might be causing
this?
