Hello,

I was told about Ubuntu yesterday after having some issues with Windows so I burned Ubuntu Desktop to a CD and put it on my laptop. I am currently using it in the "Try Ubuntu" mode because when I try and install it everything goes smoothly until I get to the slide show and all of a sudden I get the "Installer Failed" and then it says something about checking the disc etc

I tried doing it via USB but even after changing boot mode in my bios nothing happens with the USB in?

I have been at this for a few days and I just need to know if anyone can help me figure out what it is I am doing wrong?

Thanks for any help!

My laptop is a Compaq Presario F700 originally running Vista and that is all I know..

Make sure you burned the CD at the lowest speed possible
Checksum (http://lifehacker.com/247262/how-to-use-md5-sums-to-verify-downloaded-files) the .iso file
Use the torrent download if possible
