Are you referring to running Ubuntu from the CD or DVD? Or do you mean trying to run it inside of a virtual disk?

What problems do you experience? Where does it freeze? Do you see any loading of the operating system?

I am assuming that you are just booting from the Live CD and this is when it hangs up? Does the mouse pointer work? What version of Ubuntu?

Can you send us the hardware specifications for these two machines?

Motherboard
Chip set
Video card
Sound card
Hard drive
Network card
