标题: ubuntu8.10硬盘安装简明教程(安装时不能分区的必看)

1、下载最新版本的Grub4DOS
下载地址：http://download.gna.org/grub4dos/gru...2008-08-08.zip
下载并解压缩后，将目录中的grldr （非grldr.mbr），grub.exe两个文件复制到C盘根目录下

2、下载好的iso文件中解压出casper文件夹，找到vmlinuz、initrd.gz并复制到C盘根目录下

3、C盘根目录下建立menu.lst文件，内容为：
title Install Ubuntu
root (hd0,0)
kernel (hd0,0)/vmlinuz boot=casper iso-scan/filename=/ubuntu-8.10-desktop-i386.iso ro quiet splash locale=zh_CN.UTF-8
initrd (hd0,0)/initrd.gz

4、接着，在我的电脑–>工具–>文件夹选项–> 的查看标签下去掉“隐藏受保护的操作系统文件”之前的勾，并勾选“显示所有文件和文件夹”。取消C盘根目录下的boot.ini文件的“只读”属性，然后用记事本打开boot.ini文件，做如下更改：timeout=0 改成 timeout=5 或者更大的数字，在boot.ini 文件内容末尾加上一行 C:\grldr=“GRUB”
（附：boot.ini 文件路径 c:\boot.ini ）

5、将ubuntu-8.10-desktop-i386.iso复制或移到U盘根目录下，硬盘上原有的ISO文件则修改文件名。

6、插上U盘重启电脑，开始安装

I have no usb disk, and when I try to install ubuntu8.10(DVD) from disk, I found it could not partition automatically. I think the reason should be  it had mount ubuntu ISO in hard disk. So I open a console, find there is a file named "ISODevice". I checked it, it's the disk with ISO image. After umount it
"umount -l ISODevice",
it could partition this disk successfully.

I just install it and do not configure Chinese Input, considered many guys maybe need my experience urgently, I post this in English. Any questions is welcome.

Where is the ISODevice? I can't find any file named ISODevice.

这方法确实更简单咯   先卸载掉自动挂载的iso硬盘 再安装就OK啦
