I installed Ubuntu 11.10 from a disk image cd to a clean (no o/s) hard drive but cannot get it to boot from the hard drive although the boot sequence in the bios is for HDD-0, FLOPPY A, CD ROM. It keep on asking for the cd to boot. Can someone help please.

    From reading your description it almost sounds like you might have simply dragged an iso image of Ubuntu onto a hard drive.. You'll need to describe in more detail what you did. You need to boot the system with an Ubuntu CD and follow the installation directions. – Caesium Nov 21 '11 at 16:28

    I wonder if maybe your MBR is frozen. – user606723 Nov 21 '11 at 16:32

If you have no data on the hard drive, insert a live cd and reinstall.
