Hello Sadistic.

I can think about 2 option with the errors that you have post here.
1- the disc was burn not good.
2- please download parted magic,and burn it to disc.
then format your drive to - unallocated-apply the changes.

delete all the partition that you see on your HDD,
then see the pic,apply the changes in edit upper left.
then try again to install the U.E on your machine.

Hi cell and Sadistic .

My Q is with what software did you burn the ISO?
for me it looks like bad burn of the ISO,and if you have burn
the ISO with Linux(k3b),you did not mark the over burn option.
If you have burn with MS-that can be the problem of the bad burning.

can you try one of the free software here to burn the ISO,
and low the speed burning to half speed.

Guys would just like to say think for all of your help i still could not get it to install the right way so what i did is i just hooked the hard drive up to a usb adapter and installed it form my desktop so i am guessing it has something to do with my dvd/cd drive for the laptop but it is install now and thanks again
