 Hi Evan

I have completed a new install and attached the logs as requested. Using
last nights live CD to install from the same pen drive (Kingston 8GB) I
still have the same problem where I have to boot from the pen drive as
the installer appears to install the MBR onto the pen drive and not the
hard drive I installed the OS onto.
