Wel***e to UF :-)
To check the downloaded iso file for errors

https://help.ubuntu.***/***munity/HowToMD5SUM

When booting from the Live cd/usb if you tap the F6 key you should get a screen with some options. Run the "check cd for errors" one.

Edit
It appears that the letters c o m are being sensored! Please add them back in for the link address.

hey,

thanks.

i have checked my file that is not corrupted. now i am left with live CD option.

i will check it out and will post the results.

If the MD5sum checked out ok but the cd reports errors, try burning the image again at a lower speed. The lowest possible is best :-)

Do you mean you installed to a separte HDD or just a seperate partition?

If it was installed to a separate HDD, you might need to configure your Bios to boot from that HDD instead.

If the Ubuntu installation completed without any errors, it is supposed to be there where you installed it :-)

in separate partition.

Ok. Boot an Ubuntu Live CD/USB and post the output of bootinfoscript as per instructions here.

http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net

It would help us figure out any problems with Ubuntu or Grub (Ubuntu bootloader).
