Problems installing Ubuntu on PC

[rmcellig]

I started up from the CD I created for my PC. I am running XP Pro with no external devices attached. When I restart, the live CD starts to boot, I get the Ubuntu logo and then I am stuck at a prompt that says:

(initramfs) with the Flashing cursor

What should I do?

Post your specs.

What specs are you looking for?

Memory? Graphics?

[rmcellig]

512MB of RAM

NVIDIA Geoforce2 MX/MX 400

Windows XP Pro with service pack 2

I would suggest you download the Ubuntu "Alternate CD" and try to install from that.

Try the windows installer. It is awesome. It also allows you to still access all of your windows files. I simply target my music app to my itunes folder and voila, all my music was there.

Check it out if you are interested in maintaining a dual-boot system. It simply makes it so when your computer loads you choose what you want to boot into (Ubuntu or Windows).

Good luck!
