I'm trying to install Ubuntu server 12.04 on my new hard drives but it seems to fail.

Once past the option menu where is asked the partition to install the OS on, goes into a hold and no progress is shown afterwards.

The hard disk I'm trying to install it on is: Western Digital WD20EARX

The installation process hangs around 'installing core packages/installing the base system' .

The CD comes through the test with being valid/ok.

any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
