Freezes during install

[ArgusP]

I installed Ubuntu along side Windows XP on an older HP Pavilion. It ran fine so I decided to do a clean install of Ubuntu. After formatting the hard drive I have made several attempts to install(ubuntu-8.04.1-alternate-i386.iso)but each time it freezes when it reaches:
Installing System
15%
Detecting files systems...

Can anybody please help?
Thanks

Maybe a bad burn. Make a new CD after doing md5sum on iso, at 4x or less.
