Hi
I am brand new to Ubuntu and apart from using the internet and office applications not an experienced pc user. I am trying to install Ubuntu on a laptop. I ordered and recieved the 9.04 version. When I install it gets as far as the "installing system" popup and then hangs when copying files at 24%. I have retried a number of times and also downloaded and burned an installation CD. The same thing happens every time. I have done a check of the hard drive and there are no errors. I have an AMD athlon processor with 60gb hard drive and 512mb ram, so should be sufficient capacity. There is currently no operating system on the laptop. Any help and advice would be gratefully appreciated.
