Unable to install ubuntu

Asked by bktiwari

As per your directions on web-site, made installation CD and tried to run it, but unable to install with following massage:

Busy Box v1.5.3 (ubuntu 1.1.15.3-1ubuntu5) built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for list of built-in commands.
(intramfs) mount:mounting/dev/loop0 on//filesystem.
Squashfs failed:Input/output error
Can not mount/dev/loop0 (1cdrom/casper/filesystem.squashfs/on//filesystem.squashfs

Pl. guide me to install.

As earlier told, my system is having 512 mb ram and XP SP2 is istalled.

If still you want any information, pl let me know.

Did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded?
If you burned a CD, did you burn it slowly? Did you test the CD for defects once booted to?
Have you tested your RAM?

What is MD5 test. Pl. guide me.

I donot know how CD was burned, slowly or otherwise and also it was not tested for defect.

As I have already disclosed that in my PC RAM is 512 MB.

Now what to do? Shall leave the hope of Ubuntu.

I don't know how CD was burned, slowly or otherwise and also it was not tested for defect.
    At start of boot of CD, press <SPACE> key and you should get a menu. In this one, you will have an option "Check CD for defects"

Did you try to install Ubuntu aside Windows (true dual boot) or are you trying to install inside Windows ? Forum expert on one configuration are not always on another one. I dislike second option, but it's a personal opinion. After having an answer on this question, I will be able to answer or I will transmit question to another guy.

If you do some work youself rather than us spoonfeeding you then you will get fixed faster. Use Windows if you wish.

Did the ISO pass MD5 test?

Can you help with this problem?
