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 5
