Thread: Can't get it to install !


i want install ubuntu 11.04 on old sony vaio.

have previous xp pro installed on ( machine has been reformatted 12 times on years--each time flawlessly).

got ubuntu 11.04 iso , burnt cd ( after checking md5 , verifying burn).

boot cd--after seeing tiny logo @ foot of screen, row of small flashing dots 10 minutes, see microscopic line of text, mentions " unexpected error" -- nothing. no windows of buttons, no choices, no help, no explanation, no advice.

question is, need format/ remove partitions on hd before trying install ubuntu?

" unexpected error" , how overcome it?

there seems loads of advice dual booting, little on line, running machine exclusively on ubuntu, not recommended ? totally - mentally sub-normal, or doing stupid please?

if can't install live desktop cd first thing try alternate cd.
