Frozen on first boot. No kernel loaded.

Your Asus A52F seems to be compatible with ubuntu. Maybe you should just create some free space on your HDD and dual boot.

I read that there was a risk of losing data this way, and I have information for work and school on this PC. Thought Wubi was the best option. Is loading a dual boot safe?

You should have a backup of your important data before making changes to your computer's operating system or partitions.

I recommend a backup no matter how the operating system is installed. I have seen catastrophic results for people installing using any method.

It is easy to make a mistake, and sometimes trying to fix the mistake when you haven't had experience can make things worse.

I guess that's what I will have to do. Thanks for the help
