Hey guys,
I just assembled a new comp but when I try to boot from DVD it hangs.
The screen is blank with a non-blinking cursor on it!!!
I have tried Ubuntu 8.10, Vista and XP all with the same results!!!

Please help...

Does the dvd drive show up during post? Check your cables and jumpers.

I've rechecked the cables, it is recognized in the BIOS. I don't get any errors, it just hangs before the MoBo's boot splash!!!
