Giving all of it to Ubuntu, no dual boot. However, I keep getting errors of it not being able to create the file system and the swap partition. Whats going on? Is my hard drive dead?

There are a lot of possibilities and the actual error messages and/or codes can tell us a lot. Thanks. Sometimes real fast is almost as good as real time. Remember, Google is your friend!

Tried both the standard and alternate version of 10 and about every file format that was available. None of it works.
