You've probably heard this one before, but I could not turn up anything with searching. I'm trying to install Ubuntu on an Aspire laptop with Windows XP. I downloaded 10.04 and burned an ISO image. I boot Windows and open the ISO disk. I open the first choice which is to try Ubuntu prior to a complete installation. The installation starts and proceeds for a few minutes. Then it stops and displays a message 'Permission Denied' and a suggestion to check the installation log. The last few lines are:
05-21 13:45 DEBUG WindowsBackend: Copying C:\DOCUME~1\KARLHE~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\pyl6.tmp\data\i mages\Ubuntu.ico -> C:\ubuntu\Ubuntu.ico

IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied
05-21 14:00 DEBUG TaskList: # Cancelling tasklist
05-21 14:00 ERROR root: [Errno 13] Permission denied
There are a few more lines showing the installation trying futilely to recover. I would like some help in completing this installation.
TIA,
Karl
