The best way to install Ubuntu is on your primary drive, it flawlessly installs then, and it *is* worth it.

Something odd in my system, the windows boot drive (my new Samsung Spinpoint F1) is named the H: drive. The C: drive (which isn't the boot drive) is my RAID0 setup.

Depending on your hardware, you may need to enable Legacy USB support in the BIOS.

Yes I remember that option in the bios, I'll check it out see if it's enabled or not. Yet, LEGACY is an odd term because my keyboard is a brand new Logitech Access 600.

I still don't understand why Ubuntu reboots after it loads itself up in memory. I burned 2 CDs of Ubuntu 8.04, thinking it might be a bad burn, but they both have the same behaviour at the exact same moment. It's the Ubuntu AMD X64 distro, which I think it appropriate since I have an AMD Opteron 165.
