O.P. Looking for assistance installung Ubuntu
Now, this should be a simple task, but I'm trying to make things difficult. Basically, I'm trying to install Ubuntu 7.10 on an external USB drive, so that it can be booted in both VMware and as a native boot. Within VMware, I'm using the entire physical disk, and set it to SCSI (0,1) and added another dummy IDE drive, to emulate my internal disk when natively booting.

Well, I'm able to install just fine from either location (VMware or CD) but I keep getting GRUB errors when trying to load in the opposite location (usually Error 17, also Error 18 once[boot partition too high in the drive, fixed]). Also seeing a lot of Error 5: Partition table invalid or corrupt

Can anyone help me achieve this?
