Installing goes to a "/target" drive???

[Joseph]

I've been trying all day to get Ubuntu 7.x installed into a computer.

When I get it installed, it's not normal.  It gives me the following 
oddities:

       1.  The "Examples" and "Install" folders are still on the desktop
       2.  There is a new "drive" icon on the desktop called "/target"
       3.  There's no "filesystem" folder in the computer menu
       3.  All the files which are supposed to go to the "filesystem" 
folder is in this new "/target" drive
       4.  The files are there, but when I attempt to reboot, it doesn't 
and I must reinstall again and it does the same thing.

Any ideas?  I think it might have something to do with the fact that the 
hard drive is a 2.1Gb drive.

Am I correct???   ...and if not, what might I try???
