Comment 66 for bug 658865

I've been struggling for days to load Ubuntu 15.10 and /or Mint 17.2 on a new HP Pavilion. Everything functioned perfectly from the jump drive until I started to load to the hard drive. Finally found this page, removed the 40cdrom file and I am happy to say that the install of 15.10 appears to be successful. I am not computer literate, but I have been using Ubuntu as my home office operating system for about 8 years, with no issues. This one had me stumped until i found this page. Thanks to all who posted the fix. This appears to be a problem that could have been fixed months ago. Can anyone get this to the top and get it fixed?? Thanks again for all of the help.
