Alright guys, I hope you can help a scrub like me into the wonderful world of Ubuntu Linux. I have reached my wits end with trying to install Ubuntu. I've tried multiple installations(USB[both 32 and 64 bit], Disk[again both 32 and 64], and finally I tried the disk that I was sent via the Ubuntu site), but all end the same way.
I restart the computer but I have to hit F12 for the boot options, as the disk is not detected, and choose Boot From CD/DVD. Therein it begins to load, the purple ubuntu background appears and I hit the spacebar which brings up the "Languages" menu. I choose english, and proceed to go through the list to "Install Ubuntu".
Well this is where it gets me mad. I hit that button, the screen goes black, then all the sudden the screen is flooded with white text (it appears to me to be programing language but I'm unsure). From this screen it sits there doing nothing.
If anyone can help please do not hesitate. I would love to dual boot Ubuntu and enjoy the life of Linux.
