After many failed Wubi installations, I was going to try to do a real direct install, and odd things are happening.

first: it skips the menu to let me decide which mode to boot into on the live CD. Then I can't use any keyboard input on the language selection.


Second: when I get into the live cd it just shows a messed up XCFE, and I can move my mouse and stuff but that's about it...


I'm trying this after many failed Wubi installs.

I'm incredibly frustrated at this point :[

Any help is appreciated.

my specs:
3.4GHz P4 HTT(hyperthreading) enabled

1 gig of DDR2 RAM

Nvidia GeForce 7800

70gb SATA HDD

USB Keyboard and mouse.
