Hi everyone, I'm in the same boat here. Toshiba Satellite, 1805-S204. Trying to help out a relative having troubles with XP - installed Ubuntu 9.10 - it worked, rebooted several times but only displayed 800x600. Was planning on going back to XP, went to install, and BIOS (Block3) is damaged" message also appeared here. only drive it wants to access is the Floppy drive. don't have any floppies handy - and not seeing people having success here.
Any feedback would be appreciated - have another older toshiba that i was considering ubuntu on, definitely going to avoid until there is resolution on this issue - too many laptops having coincidental BIOS failure when installing Linux. not cool. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/507723 Title: New Install 9.10 No boot Bios block3 damaged error. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
