Previously: no problems installing Lubuntu 15.x and 17.10...
Just now, I tried to install Lubuntu 20.04 on my laptop Dell Inspiron 1545 2GB RAM 160GB memory.
I was using an .iso verified by med5sum on a USB drive: erase disk, not partitions.
It failed immediately, and I got the message in the title of this thread:
installer failed to create a partition table on ST9160310AS
Then...
Create a new partition table (type: msdos) on '/dev/sda'
Then...
Command: sfdisk /dev/sda
I have no idea what these things mean. Can anyone tell me what to do to install 20.04?
