Hi,
I'm a brand new user; have never tried Ubuntu before. I currently have Windows XP running on my Sony Vaio PCG-661L and would like to replace Windows with Ubuntu 9.04.
As directed on the Ubuntu site, I downloaded the ISO image and burned it to CD. When I boot the computer with the CD in drive, the Linux screen comes up with the Ubuntu logo, asks for my language like normal, but when I select "install ubuntu" I get a "Disc read error" message, and my only option is "Reboot."
I also tried running the CD from inside Windows with the computer already on, and I get a similar message there as well.
I'm going to try reburning the file to another CD to see if it's just a problem with the disc, but can anyone shed any light on any other reason why this might be happening?
My specs shouldn't be a problem. I have 512mg Ram and 4g HD space free, Pentium processor...
Can anyone help me out here?
Thanks!
