    I'm trying to install Ubuntu through a liveUSB, but when i try to install, i get an error.
    I did research online, they said i need to change my BIOS from IDE --> RAID or something.
    But I can't find this.. ? F2 isn't BIOS?

    Thank you.

    What error do you get? What kind of USB device are you trying to install from? "IDE ---> RAID" certainly wouldn't apply to the AAO.

    Cheers.

    I used the search tab and checked out the error.
    Seems like I wasn't the only one with this problem, and someone said it was because they had the wrong version of Ubuntu.
    So maybe it's the same with me. I'll have to ask my friend what version he put on my liveUSB.

    edit: the error while trying to install .. well it said this: (initramfs)
    EDIT: Okay, confirmed with my friend, it's Hardy 08.04
    So i guess I need to switch it.
