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:

Command: sfdisk /dev/sda
I have no idea what these things mean. Can anyone tell me what to do to install 20.04?
