I have a problem with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. I am trying to install it on a new (bare) hard drive and can't get past the first screen (the one that says "For best results, please ensure that this computer: has at least 4.4 GB available drive space"). There is a big X by that but I know there is plenty of drive space, it is a 1 TB hard drive and has NOTHING on it. Has anyone else had this problem?

It had gone past that before, up to the part where it was supposedly creating the ext 4 file system--after about 15 minutes or so it would get a black screen and nothing else happened. I am stumped.

Before you attempt the installation, have you checked whether your drive shows up in any of the included programs (such as Nautilus or Disk Utility), and if you can mount it? If it does not appear there, you may want to check your drive was properly installed and all connections are secure.
