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
