I have been trying to install the latest Ubuntu straight from the cd to a clean hard drive.
These are the steps that I have taken but they have all failed
1. I used the alternate  install cd and  checked the md5 sums-they were good
2. used RW-CD at slow burn using Imgburn and md5-checked the contents- all good.
The Problem is that I goes as far as 6 percent in the installing programs then freezes and about an hour later says that there was an error.
The strange thing is that I have used both the regular install cd and the alternate install CD to no avail.
Also strange is that the Ubuntu 8.04.1 installs worked fine so I am stuck with 8.04.1

Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated

below are my system stats
Pentium 4 2.8 GHz
1 gig of ram
500 GB WD BARRACUDA Sata drive

I would just burn a new disk, all default settings.
