I'm writing this from my laptop , it's running on the CD i didn't know i could browse the web and stuff. :lol: Anyway , how do i access the hard drive from here? I go to File System but there are a lot of folders , what do i do?

Are you sure that the HDD is good?

Btw, you don't HAVE to create four partitions. If you use the auto installer it takes care of all that. And if you want to go manual you can always create a single partition called "/". Ubuntu is super easy to install, I don't know why you would go through the trouble of setting all that up for a laptop.

So my laptop crashed about a year ago and today i found a hard drive in my drawer and decided to try and install Ubuntu. Yeah...i have no idea what's going on. At first i clicked *Erase disk and install Ubuntu* but i showed an error "the ext4 file system creation in partition #1 (0,0,0)(sda) failed." so i clicked *Try something else* and after i searched the web i found out that i need to make 4 separate partitions , which i did but i got all sorts of errors. :(  Also i burned Ubuntu in a CD before i tried to install it , if that matters , and the the hard drive has no operating system.

This is what i did: 

/boot  :  Type for the new partition - Primary

             Size(in mb) - 500

             Location - Beginning 

             Use as - Ext3

/ (root) : Type - Primary

              Size - 15360

              Location - Beginning

              Use as : Ext4

/home :   Type - Logical

              Size - 51200

              Location - Beginning 

              Use as - Ext4

(swap) :  Type - Primary

              Size - 4096

              Location - Beginning

              Use as - Swap Area

Device for boot loader installation: 

/dev/sda ATA TOSHIBA MK3265GS (320.1 GB)

When i click install it says "ERROR!!! Input/output error during read on /dev/sda" :cry: Can someone help me? I really don't want to buy another laptop. 

Thanks.

They are celebrating that you chose to play such an amazing game.Rattlesnake_8

I doubt it will be that bright, and it shouldn't show up your TV if you have your lights on. Only if your lights are off and the screen is dark, then perhaps it could possibly be distracting, but again, I don't think it will be bright enough. But no, I can't find anything on completely turning it off.SoNin360
