8.04 Installation Troubles

[antonwalker]

Specs:
4gig of RAM
Q6600
8800GTX
SATA optical drive

I downloaded the live disk. 64bit version. I just wanted to see if the live disk worked so I tryed and I would get to the loading bar and then it would just keep moving back and forth until this showed up: http://img81.imageshack.us/my.php?image=smallla8.jpg . I then tried to just install it and the same thing happened. I am a linux noob and really need some help. I tried installing 7.10 a few months ago, but had problems too (Would just go black after selecting an option at the first screen). Thank you for reading

Do you have a floppy disk drive? If so, remove the drive and then try booting the Live CD again.

I do not have a floppy drive

I installed from wubi and it still happens. I am pretty sure in the BIOS I have it disabled.
