Hey,
I installed 10.10 on my laptop with little problems. I abootm now trying to do the same on my desktop.
First, my hard drive has Windows Vista installed, but it won't load the OS so I figured I could load ubuntu from the DVD and install that instead.
When I first load, after my HP splash screen, I get a quick linux v. number and then load to a purple ubuntu splash screen. If I don't hit enter on this screen, it will go to a blinking cursor shortly after.
If I do hit enter, it asks my language and then gives me the options to try ubuntu, install ubuntu, check disk, check memory, boot from HD. and then the F key options at the bottom.
I cannot load any of these options, it just moves to a blinking cursor. However, I was able to remove the quiet splash and get some code.
It was much easier for me to take pictures of the code. So here it is. This is the code that scrolls down pretty fast after selecting install ubuntu.

I waited for about 10 minutes, and it just sat like this.
I then tried the try ubuntu without installing option, and I recieved the same code.
I tried the check CD utility, and it froze also. I took this picture of the last lines of code i could see.

It's weird that this DVD worked to install on my laptop but not on the desktop.
Any tips would be appreciated thanks.
