will not load on desktop.

have not solved my problem still the same

What does exactly mean that "neither program is shown"?
I mean after installation and reboot what happens?
Windows comes in / nothing happens / an error message is diplayed / whatever... :-)

Is it Ubuntu Dapper or Edgy, by the way?

the programa are not installed on the computer. It is just like running the on a live cd.
after reboot windows is all that is there.I only know it is Ubuntu that I got from you

Ok, I guess you mean Operating System when you say 'program', right?

When you boot from the Live CD and start installing Ubuntu, everything works without any problems, correct? However, when you restart your computer you don't have a option of booting into Ubuntu. The computer just loads Microsoft Windows XP.

Is this what you mean?

That is correct. When I reboot Ubuntu is not listed as option. Also
when I search the Hard drives Ubuntu is not on them. So for some reason
it seems that it is not being installed on the computer. I have the
book and have followed the instructions as to intsallation.( on page 36
and 37) any ideas. I have also tried to install Kubuntu with the same
results.

thank you

I burned a ubutu disc and i am trying to load it or run the CD but nothing happens when i click on each of the icons in the ubutu folder. I am running fedora right now and it keeps crashing. I dont know how to run ubutu from teh CD or from my hard drive. Please advise.
thanks

You reboot the computer with the disk in the drive. You should see a menu like the first picture on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/CDIntegrityCheck

If you reboot your computer and do not get this menu, then you should check out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootFromCD
