how many harddrives do you have, under the live CD test I imagine with ubuntu(not my distro so I not sure) you will have a program that checks the drives(probably called Gparted) it will tell you what format size the partitions are,
also, when you tried for the second time I imagine it said that the system was already there and would you like to eraze it, or did it say that there was no system then?
was the hard drive formatted in ntfs to start with, or was it unformatted, or was there a system like windows already using it

interesting, just some question to throw light onto the problem
how many harddrives do you have, under the live CD test I imagine with ubuntu(not my distro so I not sure) you will have a program that checks the drives(probably called Gparted) it will tell you what format size the partitions are,

1. i have 1 hard drive
2.its not ntfs...its formatted in some weird Linux format...the disk is new so Linux was the first OS to write its self on it
3.when i rewrote Ubuntu it showed me the previous partitions that i had created and the amount that was already being used...so i just wrote over
4. i dont know much about Linux so i couldn't tell you much about the driver checking program...it has a command terminal and thats all that i've seen that could be of some use...oh and it also has a "my computer" equivalent to MS Windows

ehh i've posted their before and they just say to try a different distro....i guess Ubuntu/Linux isn't for everyone....now i know why Windows is still the most popular OS. Guess i'll go dump another $150 bucks into a Microsoft account.ubuntu is not my distro being gnome, so rather than me second guessing and unless someone can offer input here I am linking you to the ubuntu forum because they will know, if the format took then the drive will be in ext3
