Getting BusyBox when trying to install

[Hexifford]

My computer has no operating systems on it, and I try to boot from the Ubuntu Desktop CD and it does is fancy little loading screen thing after I select the Install option, then after a while, BusyBox comes up, and I have no idea what to do with that. I tried typing help and got a bunch of commands that didnt make any sense at all and none of them seemed to work.

Why is this BusyBox coming up, and what do I have to do to get it to stop coming up, so I can just install the system.

BusyBox comes up

If you get an initramfs (aka busy box) screen:

a) Check the CD
b) Burn CD at a lower speed
c) Boot with the all_generic_ide kernel option
d) Change the CD drive

I burned the disk at the lowest speed possible (x8.). Im going to try this. Thanks.
