Unable to install

[illiad]

I have Vista and recently purchased a 2nd hard disk all i want to do is install ubuntu on the second hard disk. Ive downloaded the live CD from the internet and burnt it. The gui setup boots but as soon as i select the install ubuntu option and press enter the screen freezes for a second nd then unfreezes but the installation doesn't start. Ive also tried downloading wubi nd running it from windows but nothing happens it doesn't start.

PLZ HELP Im goin MAD

What are your hardware specs? Did you run 'Check CD for defects'?

I am running a C2D 2.0ghz, 1 gb RAM, 160gb + 250gb hard disks. The problem is it dosen't do anything even if i select check CD for defects it just freezes then returns to normal

Checksum your .iso, and if no errors burn at 4x speed or less.

If none of the above suggestions work try booting Live CD with Safe Graphics mode. See here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions
scroll down to the F4 section of that page.

If that doesn't work you may have to use the alternate text based installer. Get that here: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloadmirrors#alternate
