Help with installation

[Michael White]

Thank you guys very much for the help. Unfortuantly all though I am very good with computers I have never formated my HDD and I am not sure how to. I also do not know what a ext3 or 4 is. Sorry for being such a challenge. I once tried to load a Linux os onto my PS3 from a CD but I was unsucessful. So if anyone could point me to a full tutorial on how to format and start over with Ubuntu I would be most appreciative.

Then your solution should simply be to format your
HDD and install an ext3 or 4 file system then install ubuntu from a live or alt CD,  I personally prefer the alt CD and do a fresh install on a clean partition.  HTH.
