So I've downloaded the iso image using a bitTorent client, checked the md5 hash and burnt it to a cd-rom. Then inserted the installation media, booted from it and the installation process began. It all went well (apparently), until towards the end the following message appeared on the screen: "[!!] Install the GRUB boot loader on a hard disk. Please insert the disc labeled: 'Ubuntu _Natty Narwhal_ - Release i386 (20110426)' in the drive '/media/cdrom/' and press enter media change" The same thing happened last week when I tried to install Xubuntu on the same PC, I thought maybe was a bad burnt; so I now decided to try Ubuntu but I got the same issue and I don't know how to proceed from here. Google turned nothing useful when I've searched for "[!!] Install the GRUB boot loader on a hard disk". First hit is a tutorial on how to install GRUB, but I'm not sure if installing GRUB is what I should do to fix the issue, I thought GRUB install automatically when installing the system. Second hit is an unresolved post on Ubuntu Forums from 2006 (<a href="http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=113237" target="_blank">http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=113237</a>). I've also read some Ubuntu Help documentation but couldn't find any useful pages. Should I remove the installation media and try to install GRUB? If so, how should I proceed? Never installed GRUB before.
