I receive the error 'grub-install /dev/sda failed' while attempting to install Ubuntu as the computer's only OS.

I receive the error 'grub-install /dev/sda failed' while attempting to install Ubuntu as the computer's only OS. Thanks for your help so far! I've booted from the CD and clicked "Try Ubuntu", then when doing the fdisk I get "fdisk: unable to seek on /dev/sda: Invalid argument" |

Ubuntu Software Center / Update Manager not working - Could not open file I should add I've not reported this as a bug because I think it's much more likely I've updated something wrong as a linux noob than I've found a bug |

Unable to mount location Ok - for some reason I don't know (I've not changed anything apart from rebooted) the CD now works, a DVD in the same drive doesn't... |

Unable to mount location @bodhi.zazen I believe so - I run Windows 7 on the box normally and I watched a DVD on there the other day |
