Could you provide information on the system you are using? Or trying to use I should say. Any info is helpful.

What system hardware do you have? Do you have 2 HDDs or one hard disk with more than one partition?

I have a Windows Vista Home Basic and am trying to use ubuntu 9.4 (i thnik) The latest downlaod today. The installation disc said it would partition the hard drive (I have 3 drives but only the C drive was used for the installation of ubantu (Windows is also on this drive) When the installation of ubantu was finished, I re-booted as instructed and as the system was re-booting, GRUB 1.5 came up then Error 22 and the system froze. I have put the cd in and used the Try without installing option to get online.

Did you MD5 check the ISO you downloaded?
Did you run the CD self-verifier?

Found the problem. I have 3 hard drives, 2 sata and 1 ide. One of the sata drives was my C drive. The installer had re designated the F drive to C, C to D and left E alone!

I reformatted my C drive only to discover afterwards that it was my F drive!! Fortunately only my backup drive! I then disconnected the IDE drive (originally F), got my C drive back and then had the system working. However, as ubantu does not have all the drivers I need I decided to get rid, reformatted my c drive and re-installed windows. 2 days later I'm still installing my software...Thanks a lot !!!
