I downloaded Ubuntu to mess around it with on another computer of mine.

The install OS loads and I double click the install icon. I then go through several steps such as selecting the nearest city, timezone, etc.

Once I get to the format Hard drive screen I get an error. It indicates that my Hard Drive is scsi even though it is IDE. The mouse and keyboard stop working and I can't do anything at this point except cut the power and reboot.

Anyone had this problem and found a solution?

Sounds like you have some bad hardware or maybe even incompatible hardware. Are you able to install other operating systems?

Mine did this at first. I just kept rebooting and retrying the install and it finally worked. Since then I've had no problems. lol

Well once I had that problem while trying to install it on a Virtual PC, and as Oppo did I rebooted twice and it worked!
