Ubuntu 9.10 will not load

Alright you will have to elaborate more on your problem. When you are
booting off a live-cd it will take a *lot* of time to boot up. You
will have to wait for a while for it to get working. If that doesn't
work you can still try 9.04 which could be a workaround for you :D

Naturally it blew up the computer. Recovered by pulling power and recovered to the garbage system, but Ubuntu does not exist. With the image disc in the computer goes to black screen. Any Suggestions?

I am downloading 9.04 at the moment. As for the version of 9.10, I went to Ubuntu site & choices were desk top or server. Chose Desktop. With some effort found I got 9.10 Dedktop i386iso. Going through instructions and several links from download sites, I downloaded Cygwin MD5Sum, loaded, ran, and verified from the long list of possibilities from another Ubuntu site. Note: nothing in Ubuntu site mentioned all the possibilities for 9.10 which version of 9.10 or other versions or what the consequences are for chose. I opened downloaded file and registration came up. I registered. After registration a screen came up to "burn image CD". Something different than instructions. Instructions say to download another program from somewhere to burn image CD since MS does not give that capability. So I burned an image CD from the Ubunto download. I do not know that actually worked. Possibly the download included something to actually burn the image disk. Possibly it just said that and I burned a useless CD. Seemed like a reasonable thing to do at the time since it was Ubunto download and I followed directions from download instead of site instructions. So maybe I should go back to download site & follow directions to download something else to burne image CD and try again. Alternately I could try this CD again and give it overnight to see if something happens. I was not too patient with a blank screen. Alternatively I could make an image CD from 9.04 now downloading. Does the downloaded file have something to make the Image CD or do I download something to do that? I did not find any instructrions to that.
Any Suggestions?

 just a ubuntuer yesterday i help two people replace windows 7 with ubuntu 9.10 ;; go to launchpad list 95370 to read ... they used burn4free to make the iso of ubuntu 9.04 then updated to 9.10

FYI I downloaded burn4free and another similar program, Windows 7 would not install either. I got them loaded & made DCs on an XP machine. 9.10 would not load on either machine, spent a long time & gave failure notice. 9.04 worked easily on the XP and only eventually it came up on the Windows 7. It took a couple days but I am now started and using the system. Thanks!
This computer has internal wireless and I have a wireless router. Ubuntu does not see the the wireless. I tried setting up the router connection but the system will not open it. Wired connection to the router works but I would also like to use the wireless. Any suggestions?
