Still having problem installing Ubuntu 8.04

Try "Safe Graphics mode"

if dont work, use F6,
find and replace " quiet debug " with " debug noapic nolapic noapm "

Does this Ubuntu disc wok as a Live Cd without installing anything to your system?

Graphics mode changed worked. Now i'm back to the orignal problem the partition window shows no partitions to install onto. The partition window is blank.

Try "Manual" partitioning rather than "Guided"

run ubuntu from cd. Ubuntu does not see the hard drive at all.

Run Ubuntu from live cd. Went To gpart and hard drive was not shown. Went into My computer and it is not shown. CD drive and file system only. Getting very frustrated. About ready to give up on Ubuntu.

Can not partition at all. There is no hard drive shown to partition.

Been trying to install Ubuntu 8.10 for 2 weeks (to no avail). I keep the error that something must be wrong with my CD/DVD or hard drive. So .. I bought a new 500GB HD and still got the same error. Then I disabled my primary HD (from the BIOS) and installed Ubuntu from the second drive but got the same error as I did with the first drive. Next, i tried installing Ubuntu using my USB flash drive and got the same message that there is a problem with my CDC/DVD or Hard drive.

I have read alot of Ubunty forums and saw this one that tells me to go to the terminal and type lspci. I did it and got the following information.
