Not able to install ubuntu

Aki, please set your bios such that the CDROM is your first boot device; save the changes to bios and insert ubuntu CD; the pc should boot off ubuntu cd and after the logo screen with options displayed pick install --> the install should continue.

Aki, I just forgot, v important, BEFORE proceeding with an install to hd, PLEASE make a decision whether you'd like to have ubuntu ONLY or you'd like to have ubuntu AND win (dual boot) - take a look at before proceeding

1.st i suggest you to install the 32bit release of Ubuntu
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/32bit_and_64bit

Please make some common check using first boot menu Ubuntu live cd options...
This: http://i18.tinypic.com/6tzzndc.jpg
Try to perform the "Memory test" and the "Check cd for defects" to be sure the cd is read without errors by the destination pc cdrom driver

If you are still in trouble... please reboot your pc and starting with Ubuntu live cd please try to put some common Ubuntu kernel live cd options you can find the boot options howto here:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions

Remove the "splash" and "quiet" options to see more boot infos message and/or errors.
Then try some commons parameters by putting them one by one or together:
noacpi nolapic nodma all_generic_ide

If this don't work i suggest you to download and burn on a cd at lower speed you can do (4x)
here an howto https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto
the Ubuntu alternate install cd iso image ( ubuntu-7.10-alternate-i386.iso ) you can download this cd from here: http://releases.ubuntu.com/7.10/

Hope this helps
