Are you able to post the exact error message? Also did the md5sum (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM) match after you downloaded the iso? If so did you check the cd for defects? (one of the options at the main menu)

I have not tested the MD5 sum and I'll do it! But I have seen somewhere a guy complaining not able to do install on Laptop but works fine in Desktop.

Could be a corrupt download.
Download again, using a different PC.
Then try a different .iso burner to burn the CD/DVD.
I've had problems with some .iso burning software corrupting discs.

I use Active@ISO Burner to burn .iso files to CD/DVD. Never have any problems. It's free!

At the Ubuntu start screen, press F6 for Options, then type "noapic" (without the quotes), then press Enter.
Good luck.
Joe.
