No problem.

A few things to note with this current version of Ubuntu. The partition manager has a bug in it that was fixed in the x86 version but not on the PowerPC version. Apparently, it has a problem writing the new partitions to the hard drive. I've used another live disc to recreate the partitions I needed to install Ubuntu, rebooted into the Ubuntu Alternate Installation Disc, and configured the partitions. Once I did that, it was finally able to write the partitions to disk. Also, when you burn the disc from the ISO image, make sure that you do it at a low-enough burn speed, otherwise you'll get errors even if the image downloaded fine.

This is what i get when ever i install different versions of Ubuntu and Kubuntu, it say's "installation cannot write to disk" it has this partition=0 failed loading

there is this option when this appears during installation, an option that you can use commands... but unfortunately i dont have some ideas on this, I told you im so noob on Mac Commands (coz im a Windows user.)

Can you give me some commands on this? in how to manual partition the HDD during setup installation? so when ever it appears again in the mid of installation i can use those commands to re-format the disk.

I dont wanna give up on this, coz i dont wanna trash my PowerPC

Thanks in advance again.
