Nice article for people in a perfect world, but did you read the OP's first post? That "is" what he is doing and then "Poof," the installer goes south, freezing on a hardware probe.

If the OP instead ised "Try" then installed from the Desktop, then he could look at the syslog to she would the hardware probe hit and what the error was.

If the OP can't run the LiveImage, then he could try different boot options to see what helped to run the Live Image.

Personally, I've never heard of dashes being drawn across a screen on an install. Now hex dumps, I've seen a lot of those on errors.

Unless they are trying to install Wubi, which is probably the situation. The link would provide an alternative method to install Ubunu for users having issues installing Ubuntu in Wubi. Without more information, we just don't know, but from my experience with this kind of issue the link may help them to figure that out for themselves.

I have a similar problem, I have windows 7 but I want to replace it with Ubuntu 10.10. When I insert the Ubuntu CD it starts well and shows me the two installation options and another option for 'more information'. When I click on 'demo and full installation' it requires that I boot from CD. My BIOS is set to start booting from CD but it goes right to windows everytime I reboot with the Ubuntu CD in the CDROM.

NB/ I had previously installed Ubuntu inside windows and uninstalled to go all Ubuntu
