I'm totally new to ubuntu and linux in general. I'm to what is supposed to be this screen:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GraphicalInstall?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=Install2StartUp.png

But instead of the five options in that picture I have two options. The first one says:
ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff
and the second one says
ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff
Pushing enter on either will bring up an error that says (you guessed it)
ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff

If you need any information on the computer just ask and I'll get what I can from the BIOS. I don't actually have a working OS on this PC yet.

Bump with new info. I have determined that there is nothing wrong with the CD or the ISO. It's ussually suggested that perhaps something went wrong with the burn or download. I tested the CD in another computer (the one I'm posting from right now) and everything was fine.

So any ideas as to why my other computer would display all these F's?


Other than to say "F you for not using me in so long." ;)
