Installing Ubuntu

Blackcobra · 11-25-2007, 09:25 PM

i finally got the live cd to boot properly, but i had to use a different computer. i think there is a problem with my cd drive, because it couldn't write 2 different linux downloads that i tried downloading and burning twice each. the cd drive couldn't play spiderman 3 when i tried, so i think there is something wrong with it.

to get back to the ubuntu issue, my computer is having a lot of trouble. it was a crappy computer to begin with, but it is having trouble installing it. is the box install window supposed to say anything?

Eh...Spidey3 is a DVD and you're trying to view on CD-rom?

What are the specs on your computer. If its old enough, it may not have the memory to load the Live CD contents.

this is a brand new computer that I bought about 3 months ago running vista home premium. It is a Compaq Presario SR5152NX with 2GB of RAM, 250GB HDD, AMD AthlonTM 64 x2 Dual Core Processor 4000+, DVD/CD burner with lightscribe technology, and a NVIDIA GeForce 6150 SE graphics card.

If CD method is not working try alternate install without a CD. It could be harder but worth the try if you really want Ubuntu https://help.ubuntu.com/community/In...8775fe1e9e22fd
