Rosland,

? Did you see any errors during installation ?!?

? Do you know what is the size of the Ubuntu-partition ?!?

? Did you install GRUB, and is it possible the press <Esc> while booting and go to the grub-menu, giving you the possibility to boot to (second line in that menu) Recovery_Mode ?!?

Try it and pass the information to us here.

Please try to pass the option

noacpi

to the starting kernel row, of your installed Ubuntu.

Please Start the pc the when you see the GRUB row...
Press ESC.

Press "e" for edit.

Highlight the line that begins kernel ………, and press "e"

Go to the very end of the line, add

noacpi

press enter, then press "b" to boot your system.

Then if this solve you have to add this parameter to the default options of your /boot/grub/menu.lst

Please ask here.

Hope this helps

If you are still in trouble... 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 pnpbios=off pci=noacpi

Can you help with this problem?
