I'm a first-time Linux user, switching from Windows. I decided that I wanted to try the Kubuntu version - I build a new computer, all of the parts are functioning and recognized by the BIOS. However, upon booting the computer from the Installation Disc which I burned I receive the "No common CD-ROM drive was detected" error. I have done some searching and found that I am not alone in this problem. Unfortunately, I was unable to find a resolution for my predicament. (I have no floppy drive.)
http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-4447.html seems to be an entire thread concerning this problem, but it seems to peter out without giving a definitive answer.
- I have tried re burning the CD.
- I was unable to try installing in "expert mode" because I could not find an adequate description of how to do so. (I'm brand new!)
- I have verified that my md5sum matches.
- My original SATA Mode was set to "Enhanced", so I tried it in "Compatible" mode.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! Also, if this is something which I cannot fix - does anyone have any suggestions as to another good Linux distribution for a newbie who wants to get some experience with the OS? Thanks a bunch for you time and help!
Robert
