    live cd wont boot

    recently my harddrive failed so i swapped it with a spare i had lying around windows 7 was able to boot and install just fine, however ubuntu wont boot it will let me go to the options screen but after i select either try without installing or install i get a black screen with just being able to type, i let it sit for awhile and eventually the loading screen for 10.04 came up but only kept loading for about half an hour. i also tried a 9.04 disc i had lying around but had the same issue. both of these discs work on other rigs. any ideas?

    How about trying another distribution? I'd recommend Arch Linux, it's minimalistic and configurable.
