Hi Guys, Here's my situation:
I have an old desktop, not eons old (Like a friggin' C64) But still old enough for me to justify calling it a dinosaur. It has poor system specs (I don't know what they are, My parents built it for me out of mostly spare parts )
It had a copy of Windows XP Professional SP2 running on it, but for a still undetermined reason it crashed.
Well, Now I'm trying to install Ubuntu, And I could care less about Windows, I'm going to uninstall in as soon as I get a new OS set up on it. So unless it's strictly temporary I won't need to partition it right?
The problem starts when I try to run the installer, The ISO Burned just fine, and It loaded from the CD-ROM drive. Once it loads and gives you the options (Live-CD tryout, Install, Memory Test, Etc) Both 'Install Ubuntu' and 'Try Ubuntu without changing your computer' freeze up for a sec, (Which I can onyy assume to be my slow computer struggling to load Ubuntu) and then goes to the Splash/Loading screen. I don't know what to call it.
After Watching the Orange dot go from side to side for a while, it starts to load up with Error messages, it's done this consistantly every time I attempt it. Restart after restart.
I was wondering if anyone knows what I should do or can offer advice. I don't have a lot to lose here so any suggestions are helpful
P.S. I'm going to go ahead and post this, so as to get my problem public and let some of you try to solve it, but I'll post again in a minute with a sampling of the error messages.
Please and thank you,
