Hello,

I have tried to install Ubuntu 10.4 on my Mother's old Dell Dementson. I had to change the boot order in bios to boot from the CD, it looks like it tries too, black screen w/ flashing cursor in the upper left. Then after a pause just boots up XP. Is there something in bios besides the boot order I am over looking? Any suggestions to this matter.

I did try several times, about 6 times to be exact-

Have you tried the CD in a machine that you know is working, I mean to verify that it is actually OK

Yes, the disk works just fine in everything else (my laptop). I even ran some audio and movies on her machine those work just fine.
