I tried installing Ubuntu, and everything seemed to be going good, but then it said it couldn't install the GUI, and it wouldn't even bott up when I tried, so I had to go back to Mandrake just to get my comp to recognize itself!

I can't be specific, it was yesterday, but it was something like Error loading GUI, Could not load source file, or something like that, but wouldn't the source file be on the disc?

Maybe your disk is corrupt?

did u manually format the disk? does it need to be set to bootable? is the disk you installed ubuntu on the disk the BIOS is setup to boot from?

I installed it on like 15-20 gigs of free space that it partitioned for me and then after a lot of stuff installed, including the initial install, it started to install a bunch of other crap, and then said it couldn't install the GUI.
