I’ve just been having a thrash at
installing Debian. It requires a partition that is designated as root to
install. Ubuntu is based on Debian so may be the same, but I have never seen
this requirement in any other install (Suse, Mepis, PCLinuxOS, Ubuntu Dapper
etc.) Or on any other partitioner but Debian’s. There again, I have never
looked for it.

Yes, you really need the alternate version of Ubuntu edgy by the sounds
of it. I had a similar install problem sometime ago with the
"desktop"
version.
This doesn't work, it displays a blank HDD as before..

It is well-known that I am blunt and unsophisticated. It's largely your fault
