Help! Installing 8.10 on Server - errors!!!!

[Jonathan Harrison]

Dear esteemed
I am not a techie, so please bear with me.

I have a spare PC on our LAN that we use to centrally store files.  I have
upgraded it to AMD 64 Dual Core, 4 x 1Gig RAM, and stuff.  Been using Vista
64b Home Premium.

I have decided to build a IPT (PBX) for the home and my office use, using
the PC as a Server.  The system I want to try out is Unison's.  This
requires ubuntu as the Server OS.  I have downloaded the 64b version on to
another PC, burnt it to CD using InfraRecorder (the recommended).  I have
taken out the Hard Drive with the MS Vista OS and installed another which I
have half formatted to create 1 partition and have only this HD and the CDRO
drive installed on my machine.  Upon booting up it requests a boot from CD,
which I do.  Asks for language, then presents a menu.  I have tried clicking
F3 for change of keyboard (UK English) and also not doing so and just
pressing the Install Ubuntu SW....  It starts alright and then says: I need
to ENABLE IOMMU in BIOS settings.  I do not know what this is, but I have
been in BIOS 3 times now looking for it and not found it.  I have enabled
virtually everything, but bar pulling out more hair has had no effect....  I
am currently running a memory test (nothing better to do).

Anyone help me.  I need to get this up and running tonight or my wife will
make my life not worth living tomorrow!

PS:  The data and backups are safe as they are on two other drives I have
removed.


Regards
Jonathan
