I got to be an Ubuntu convert at my last job and thought I knew enough to install ubuntu easily (humble pie anyone?). So I ordered a computer without a pre-installed OS from PC's for Everyone. Here are the specs:
• Shuttle SP35P2 PRO Intel Socket 775 XPC
• Dual-Core Intel® Core™ 2 Duo E8500 3.16GHz 1333FSB 6MB Cache
• 4 x 2GB PC6400 800MHZ DDR2
• 1000GB Serial ATA 7200 RPM - Seagate Barracuda® 7200.11
• Samsung 20x DVD+/-RW Dual Layer SATA
• 19-in-1 3.5" Card Reader (Black)
• MSI nVidia GeForce 8400GS 512MB DDR2 PCI Express (1xDVI 1xVGA)
And here is an example of the error message I get when I try to check the CD for defects or install. This is a CD that I have checked the M5D hash's on and they looked ok.
---------------

The only thing I can come up with are some cryptic messages about SATA not working well with Ubuntu when I check out google. Thoughts?
