My HDD is approximately 160 GB.



I've created 4 partitions:




  • the / one (~25000 MB)

  • the /boot one, which is about 1 GB

  • the swap (another 2 GB)

  • a 50000 MB /home partition.



Now, on the Device for boot loader installation option, I selected the boot partition (I did so because I am going to dual boot ubuntu with another distro, tell me if something changes). And that's it.
The installation ends successfully, so I restart the computer. And the BIOS tells me there's no OS in the system!



I insert the DVD again, and in the partition scheme, it says that Ubuntu is installed. Where have I failed?

You need to install the boot loader on the hard disk device (/sda) and not on the boot partition. So select your hard disk device for "Device for boot loader installation".
