I have tried to install twice now both times have got the message no active partition found.
It seems the drive is not booting up, not even if I try using the install cd to boot up the drive.

Well this isnt going well, after playing with the bootloader I am now getting the message no operating system...hummmm

The Ubuntu partitioner is crap, download partition logic to make the partitions then just format and install with ubuntu.

[Tortanick]

I never understood what the ubuntu guys were thinking with that "easy" partitioner. Debian has it sorted with their LVM, RAID, and encrypted partition support in the installer.

[Dudeking]

The ubuntu partitioner dosnt set the partitions as active.
Its useless lol
