ubuntu installation locks up keyboard lights blink

This question was expired because it remained in the 'Open' state without activity for the last 15 days.

this Ubuntu stinks... always heard great things and then when I decide to install, it crashes and crashes and now NO ONE WILL HELP.

Is anyone out there or do I have to go back to Windows and buy stupid XP disk?

trying to install ubuntu version 9.04 but it locks up and the lights/leds blink on the keyboard. the monitor shows the progress bar locked. have to restart manually and it keeps doing the same thing. unable to install unfortunately and cannot find any help on this entire forum.

windows XP is currently installed.
1 gb RAM
3000 mhz processor
160 gb hard drive with 50% available

thanks for your help1

Hey, i am sorry you totally slipped through our net here. Thanks for re-posting the question and giving us another chance, hopefully this time we'll get it right. There are some other places you can also try for getting help with Ubuntu
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Signpost/Questions#help

and a forum that covers a lot of different versions of linux, so their answers might not know Ubuntu in great detail but do have the advantage of giving a good overview
http://www.linuxquestions.org

I'm sorry that these addresses weren't given to you before now. Anyway, if you'd like to comment on the bug-reports i linked to this thread then that might help other people in a similar position in the future.

Good luck and regards from
Tom :)

How did you fix it in the end?
Thanks and regards from

Just had to order a third disk. The third disk was NOT corrupt. Love it so
far.
Thanks again for your help Tom.
