Yep. You gotta read the tutorials and format the HDD according to
instructions prior to installing it. It's not as easy as installing
Mac OS X, I'm afraid.
Every time I've installed K/Ubuntu formatting the disc has been part of
the installation process which creates a boot partition map.
K/Ubuntu has gotten better over the years and now it's almost effortless.
