The ubuntu install will allocate the partition and sort the booting out.

You may have had a bad cd also, it happens. You could also try turning down the speed of the writer to see if you have more luck.
If Ubuntu does not seem to run right on your system you could also try one of the numerous other live CD's available for Linux: http://www.livecdlist.com/ |

Redownload the ISO, burn it again. Or borrow you friends :P
1- go through ubuntu live CD (setting primary boot device as CD drive) 2- install through live CD 3- set up partitions using the easy GUI ubuntu interface. 4- install, and your done. Hope this helps. Its a simple process as the graphical interface in ubuntu has made install and setting up ubuntu very easy. Any problems contact me :D |
