Installing problems

[suryak]

I downloaded Ubuntu 10.10 and made created a DVD..
When i started installing it, i'm not able to do it.. i think its hanging..

This is what happening :
first i found a screen saying ' ubuntu 10.10 ' and it loaded for some time then i got a screen with a black color task bar at the top of the screen.. then after some time it turned into white color and after some time it disappeared..
nothing else happened... i didn't find any pop-up window to start installation of OS..

But when i tried this in my friends house, i found that instead of ' ubuntu 10.10 ' there came ' Ubuntu ' LOGO and it was little bit slow but a pop-up window opened to start installation..

why its not coming in my PC..
my computer configuration :
Windows XP, SP 2
256 MB RAM, 1.81 Ghz
AMD 64 Athlon Processor 1800+

( i want to shift my OS to Ubuntu completely)

Try putting in the 'nomodeset' parameter from F6 menu. See here for details.

If that doesn't work, from the same menu, check your disc for defects and let us know about the results so we can propose some other ideas ;-)
