So it does not even boot into the alternate installer? This seems a bit over my head.

I see. That sounds like a severe problem. Perhaps there are some cd related settings in your bios. Also check for errors to make sure the disc was burned correctly.

Ok have you checked the cd for errors? Also why start another thread with the same issues

it just says failed after it checks for cd-rom drivers for ide scsi etc...

Ok have you checked the cd for errors? When you boot the cd you should see the start install screen do you see that?

In the future xubuntu and ubuntu are the same except for Desktop environments. If you would have posted again in your other thread you already had help and they know what you have and have not tried and it helps on confusion and you trying the same things over and over.
