I tried your Ubuntu 7-10 for desktop, the CD doesn’t wanna install for some reason.
Hmmmm. I’m assuming you partitioned your hard drive. Pose your question to tech/PC section. Many Wizards over there.
you should do a SHA1 or MD5 hash checksum on the CD (or DVD) to make sure it wasn’t corrupted when downloaded off the net (or during CD/DVD writing)... this is a very common problem depending on how good your ISP is...
What does it do in the alternative?
I had problems with Ubuntu as well. I prefer PClinuxOS over ubuntu as a free live install distro.
It’s made right here in the USA by texans.
