Hi,

I am new to Ubuntu, but I wanted to try something new.
I have tried to install ubuntu 10.4 and 10.10 and each time I have been met with the same problem.

My computer hangs before the splash screen and never boots, no matter what I do. Any suggestions?

Thanks a lot

fist instal xp and then install ubuntu bu using install them side by side option or by specifying manually
if you are a begginner user try using install them side by side

I have done that. xp works great. In fact, grub works great. it's only when I decide to boot into the Ubuntu partition that i get into trouble.
