[Bug 876169] [NEW] live Ubuntu CD runs but won't install/run on Hard drive

[zextoi]

Public bug reported:

semi-novice user . . . learning by trial and error.  Goal was to make
computer more secure/private.  Alternating Gparted live CD with Ubuntu
11.10 live CD . . . I gave up experimentation (trial and error) and
tried to install Ubuntu 11.10 onto my entire hard drive as a solo
operating system so I could put the computer to bed (then I could go to
bed).  Now the hard drive acts like it is dead.  Ubuntu won't live there
anymore.  With the internet, to fix problems (like this trouble report)
the Operating Systems & hardware are no longer hobby-material you can
play with at home.
