Sorry- I know this is in the wrong place but I would really like a quick answer so excuse the intrusion.
I am just trying to install Mandrake 10 on my Toshiba Portege 3020ct laptop.The setup program starts ok and asks me to choose a language etc but then it halts and says-
'an error occurred: no valid devices were found on which to create new filesystems'
I have tried formatting the hard drive but it still gives the same error.This is my first experience with Linux so I don't know anything about commands etc.Can anyone help me to get this to work in a simple fashion?
Many thanks in advance for any help.
no matter how hard you try, you can't polish a turd. :]
