Each time after install i get the error message that there is no bootable OS.
I'm a complete newbie to Linux. I basically took all the defaults on install, bar configuring the on board nic etc. I did notice however my USB optical mouse was not recognized during install, so i plugged in a normal PS2 and that worked fine.
I just can't get the system to boot.
I'm not really sure what other sort of info to post. So let me know what you need to know to help me out

Thanks for any and all advice help
