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.
