Hi there,
I've been trying to use LiveCDs from both Gutsy Gibbon and Hardy Heron, only to end up with this happening:

I've burned both ISO files to a CD-R, DVD-R, and DVD-RW, using the lowest burn settings, in three different burners. The discs work fine in my Acer laptop (on which hardy is already installed :) ), but no luck with my Compaq desktop. And I've tried with ACPI turned on and off. Same result.
My system specs are: HP IDE DVD-RAM, LiteOn IDE DVD-RW, x2 Western Digital 160GB IDE HDD, 2GB PC2700 RAM, Celeron D 2.66GHz CPU, ATI x1300 GFX, Hauppauge HVR-1600, Creative X-Fi XtremeGamer.
I'm not dead set on actually installing Ubuntu on this system. I just want to use the live environment so I can get a feel for things on this machine, before deciding on making things permanent.
Thanks!
