The partitions are formatted. In fact that would be obvious when I say it
cannot even update from 7. That is not the problem. There is a problem with
the distribution. Someone said something about the way it detects IDE drives
of certain types. I wish they would provide a fix because it looks like a
toy the way it works now.
It installs fine on my other machine.
Thanks for the suggestion but it is more than that , unfortunately!

Gil,
Are you formatting the Linux partitions before you attempt the install. If
not this might be the problem and the answer.
