Title:
  Can't install Ubuntu on my computer

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  I originally had a windows computer and then I did a flash drive dual
  boot for a bit. One day I had to re-download Ubuntu, but then it
  cleared my Windows hard drive completely. I don't want to be on
  windows anymore, so that's okay with me. I just want to be able to
  work in Ubuntu. The main issue is when I restart my computer after
  installing Ubuntu from the GRUB menu I now get from restarting, it
  doesn't give me the option to use Ubuntu. Only 1. Try Ubuntu without
  installing 2. Install Ubuntu 3. DEM Install, and 4. Check disc for
  defects. When I first dual booted it let me install, and then I
  restarted and then I could continue in Ubuntu. The option would change
  from install Ubuntu, to just Ubuntu, now it no longer does that. Is
  there a way I have to partition my hard drive or do I just have to
  keep trying Ubuntu without installing. I really don't want to have to
  keep doing that, because then I'll just lose my data each reboot. This
  is totally my fault, for installing Ubuntu and erasing a disk, I just
  want to be able to use install Ubuntu and use it continuously. Any
  help would be appreciated.

  I tried the lsb and and the package version in terminal, but both said
  I didn't have any.
