I have searched the forums without finding a solution.
I have tried to install Ubuntu 8.10 on my PC which is currently dual booting Windows XP Home with Windows XP Pro. I have downloaded Ubuntu 8.10-desktop-i386.iso and Ubuntu-8.10-desktop-amd64.iso which I have burnt to a CD.
Can anybody suggest why the system will successfully boot to either CD and offer me the language selection then go to the next page where I select “Install Ubuntu” and then do nothing.
The screen is not frozen as I can access each of the menu items and the function options, but none of them respond when I press enter.
Any helpful suggestions are most welcome.
Windows XP Home Service Pack 3
3.20 gigahertz AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core
Gigabyte GA-MA770-S3P board
2 hard disks, 1 320 GB SATA, 1 250 GB IDE
2 CD/DVD drives
4 GB RAM
Thanks,
Robert
