russell bhai, Sorry I didn't reply earlier. My downloaded ISO was corrupt and I didnt get around to installing hardy for a while. But I just tried this method with a new ISO download.
Unfortunately this method did not work like a cd install and after showing a few things not found, booted into an "initramfs" she'll. I don't know what next to do through here, so I've rebooted to my feisty and will burn a cd now. I really need ntfs writing now, as the windows drives have got a nasty rootkit virus file that avast detects, kaspersky blocks, but neither can remove. Here comes Hardy on my pc.
