Comment 2 for bug 64254

Oh dear. I would be glad to help, but I was in such a pinch that I downloaded the alt cd and was able to install using it. (I tried dapper live and alt cd and both would lock up; I could only get ubuntu installed on this system using Edgy's alt cd). I've got my system set up now.

Do you think the bug is related to the sata harddrive? If not, could I use an external and install Ubuntu to it? If I install grub to the external harddrive, would it mess up my current ubuntu and grub installation?
