    Install goes to "initramfs" or says "Detect and Mount CD-Rom"

    Hello.
    I bought myself a new laptop, So my old one is going spare. What a great opportunity to setup Ubuntu on it "test the water".

    Install 1:
    I downloaded the Ubuntu 8.10 and burned it to ISO. Every time I try and install it goes to initramfs. I can not see any command to install it from here.

    Install 2
    So when I messed with that, with no success I tried the Text based installer. This let me enter some settings, but before installation started it said "Detect and Mount CD-ROM" followed by "Your Installation CD-ROM coul't be mounted" but the CD-Rom is in the drive! and burned successfully!

    Info
    Im running Packard Bell Easynote, It has XP installed but hopefully not soon if i can get Ubuntu on.

    Any help much appreciated i tried ubuntu IRC but with no replies. Id hate not to be able to try ubuntu desktop!

    Much Thanks
