Hello I'm hoping someone can help me with this problem. I don't have the knowledge to know what to do next.
I'm trying to run the live disc of 11.04 as I want to dual boot with it. I've checked the MD5 and checked the disc for faults and they're ok but I just end up with a black screen. The graphics card is ATI 4550.

You are most likely hanging on the video driver loading.

Here is the 11.04 thread for this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1743535

You can do the same fixes in grud to boot the LiveCD (hold down the [shift] key when booting from the LiveCD to set the visible grub menu.
