I really doubt that! Did you reboot and opt for the VESA mode??

Re: Kubuntu 7.10 won't install...
Anything is possible, but GParted only exists to see hard drives -- it has no other purpose, so that's a pretty weird situation! :P
EDIT: @xxauoxx -- did you click on the little drop-down window in the upper right of the GParted screen, and see if there are any hard drives lurking on that list?

Relooking at the excellent listing of the system, I see:

Re: Kubuntu 7.10 won't install...
no raid configuration. I have a master, and a slave. The master holds my Windows XP installation. The slave holds my mp3s and movies.
I never even got the Gparted gui. Am I missing some step? I never even got to choose my display information.Comment

Re: Kubuntu 7.10 won't install...
That isn't a good sign. I know that the video card you have will (likely) give you some initial problems with installing Linux. But for GParted?? Hmm.Originally posted by xxuaoxx
Can you go back into your BIOS and check for video options? If there is such, and you can select VESA, that's what I would do. Otherwise, let us know what video options your BIOS reports. Will go from there.Windows no longer obstructs my view.

Re: Kubuntu 7.10 won't install...
The only "real" option I found for my video was to switch it between an PCI video card and an AGP video card. Maybe I'm not looking for the right thing... here's my bios info...

Re: Kubuntu 7.10 won't install...
Nothing there that 'stands out.' Okay, there is another 'suspect' that should be questioned, and that's the GParted LiveCD itself. It could be a bad burn. As it isn't a large .iso file, I would reburn another copy, and ensure that the burn speed is 4x (sometimes, burning at higher speeds creates problems on LiveCDs) and try it.Windows no longer obstructs my view.

Re: Kubuntu 7.10 won't install...
ok, does anyone recommend a free burning program? I have MagicISO and the slowest I can burn is 16x.Comment

Re: Kubuntu 7.10 won't install...
If in fact, 16x is the slowest setting in MagicISO (their screen shots suggest otherwise, and you should be able to select 4x, which is the slowest write-speed for CDs), then download/install (in Windows) ImgBurn, also a free program. I use it Windoze.Windows no longer obstructs my view.

Re: Kubuntu 7.10 won't install...
well guys, no dice on anything. I think I'll wait till I get a new computer and try it that way. I just don't understand why it wouldn't work. Oh well.... when I get the new box, I'll come back here for help if I need it. Thanks for trying you guys.Comment
