I downloaded and burned 8.04 for amd64. Hardware is an amd athlon 64x2 5000+ on an asus m3n78-emh hdmi. 1 drive in the system with xp installed (but not working). I want to wipe this drive (everything is backed up) and put ubuntu on it instead.

I boot the install cd, pick English, then pick Install Ubuntu. Then it goes to a prompt that says (initramfs). I have no idea how to proceed from there.

Help would be appreciated.

Try the Alternate CD. If not; I'll give you some boot parameters to try.
