Ubuntu will not boot from hdd

Asked by Teddy-O

I have Ubuntu 7, I can install it. But after I install it, I remove the cd when told to. Then after the computer reboots it will not run Unbuntu. I have gotten a blinking cursor, corrupted OS or some other stuff with error messages. I am going crazy trying to figure this out.

Someone please help.

Due to the complexity of trying to solve this kind of problem, you might be better off trying to find a local Linux users group and see if someone there can help.

Can you help with this problem?
