I've searched online and haven't come across a solution. I inherited an old PC that I want to run Ubuntu on.
I tried booting from the install CD from Ubuntu's website and it just hangs after the splash screen that displays F10 for boot menu and F12 for BIOS. To the best of my knowledge, there is no OS installed. I successfully managed to boot from my Ubuntu CD after I disconnected the lone HDD. Been experimenting with the jumper cable settings but have come to no conclusions.
There is only 1 HDD. Just trying to find out if I can still reuse it to install Ubuntu on.
I'm fairly new to computers and this forum, let me know what else I should include in this.
