Installing 11.04 from a boot CD and after the ubuntu logo it stops and says 'can not mount /dev/loop0 (cdrom/casper/filesystem.squashft) on //filesystem.squashfs'

Same problem with 10.04. Been working on this since the 14th. Did miltible downloads and burns and setup the hard drive in different ways and still nothing works. What's the next thing to do??
Never had this problem before with previous installs.
Thanks.

Hi and welcome to the forums :-)

This could be a bad burn, a corrupted ISO image, or perhaps you need to try booting from a USB instead.
