I recently built my first pc but ever time I have tried to install Ubuntu it doesn't work. There are a lot of different types of errors that show up depending on what I do.
Erase and Install or Something Else:
When ever I try to do either of those methods it fails to mount or format a seemingly random partition. When I tried pressing continue on the error message it started the download but after failing to download scrollbar overlay it would only output a few other random errors but for the most part it would add time to the estimated download time. I let it try to download for a couple days but still nothing.
GParted then install:
When I try to use GParted it always failed to create or mount a partition in the same way as above. I never got to start the download when I did that.
Parted Magic from Ultimate Boot CD then install:
I used GParted on the Parted Magic distro from the UBCD live cd and the partitioning worked but when I went to install Ubuntu I clicked "Something else" and set up the partitions properly it gets to the download but does the same thing when I clicked continue in the formatting/mounting error.
Eventually I found a form post saying that my hard drive (a Western Digital) didn't like Ubuntu. So I bought a new one installed it but now I'm getting the same problems as before. I almost certain I've got the pc assembled right and the custom partions set up properly since my friend who helped me build it has built a lot of other computers (but always uses windows) and my brother is really good at Ubuntu and computer system stuff.
