1. Did you remember to run checksum to check the integrity of the ISO image.

2. Did you burn it at a slow speed, 4x?

3. Did you run the check cd for defects option at the initial screen to check the CD first before you used it?

[flamingsnake]

sorry to be a pain but how do i do number 1?
and no i didnt burn it at 4x is that a bad thing?

1. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM

2. Try to burn it again but use the slow speed.

thanks for the reply but after running some checks i have concluded it aint the cd i used another pc to boot with the cd and it worked fine so other causes are?

What did you do with cookies? I am having the same problem. Please share your successes.

You can always try the alternate CD to install Ubuntu on your machine.

Got frustrated with unsuccessful download after another. So, I ordered a ubuntu CD from eBay. It too gets hung up on BusyBox. How do I get it to load properly? Would like to take a tour on this linux system. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

one other thing does ubuntu support the nvidia 6600gt graphics card cos i have one spare and wanted to test it ps oops double post

When you install your nvidia card, make sure you go into the BIOS and turn off the onboard integrated graphic controller. Then boot your machine with the add-on nvidia card. Now, go into System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers and install nvidia driver for your graphic card.
