Unable to Partition HD during Installation

[Wayne]

I downloaded the Release iso of Warty and went to install it and now the 
cd wont work damnit :( haha  I opened up the computer to change the 
jumpers and it looks like there arent any ??? is that normal or am I  
not looking in the right spot. I had the same trouble with mandrake but 
changing setting in the BIOS enabled me to install it with out any 
hassle but the same settings dont work with ubuntu so I dont know what 
else to do. On my searches I found this bug not too sure if its the same 
problem as the one posted but it sounds like it 
(https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1399 )
any ideas?

cheers
Wayne

thanks
