Can't install Ubuntu

[maxpax]

Hi Guys,

I'm brand new to Ubuntu, I've got a PC that is currently running Windows Server 2003 and want to change it to the Desktop version of Ubuntu.

I've downloaded the disk image, bunged in the disk. It booted fine but when I selected either run Ubuntu from disc or Install Ubuntu, it came up with the Ubuntu logo and loading bar - for some reason my floppy drive started wirring at this point - and then went to:



BusyBox v1.1.3 (Debian 1:1.3.3-5ubuntu12) Bulit-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.

(initramfs)


Any suggestions because I have no idea what this even means. :P

Thanks :)

Thanks for the reply. :)

Unfortunatly that didn't work, it just took a lot longer to get off the screen with the Ubutnu logo and orange bar on it.
