installation error

Are you installing Ubuntu 8.04.1?
Is it the Desktop or Alternate CD?

I'd recommend you try the Alternate CD from (click the checkbox on this link)...
http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download

It is possible that you could have a problem with your disk but give the Alternate CD a go before going down that path.

Thanks, Tony. I requested a CD. I am trying to laod Ubuntu 8.04.1 and I did make an image disk as perscribed in the instructions. I hope the disk from Ubuntu works better.

It appears that the cd is corrupted (and thus won't load the live session) - did you check the md5sum before you burned, then burn at a slow speed like 4x to help prevent write errors?
For burning your own cd, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes
You should try again, but this time make sure the image file is not corrupted by checking the md5sum.
