The hard drive on my computer took a crap so i bought a new one (Haitachi ATA133 80GB). I installed the new one and got the computer booting. I am trying to install ubuntu linux on it so i booted from a live cd and it worked. Then when i clicked on the install shortcut on the desktop it pretended like it was going to start but it ended up just closing itself out (without letting me install). I tried opening up the Gnome partition editor, but it did the same thing - pretended like its was going to open but didnt. The games and other programs work just fine. Is it not installing because i have not yet formated the new hard drive? If this is the case, can i format it from the terminal? Thanks for the help.
