Ultimate Edition 1.8 Installation problem

[awais]

Hi All,

I am total newbie migrating from Windows to Linux. I burnt 1.8 DVD and am trying to install on Dell D400 laptop with following specifications:

1.6M/512/40/DVD/

Systems boots up fine with 1.8 DVD and live session starts. When I click on install nothing happens. I tried to install using OEM option, still no go. Even when I click on restart in live session, the system does not shut down. I have to cold boot.

I tried regular Ubuntu CD and it works fine.

Any help will be really appreciated

Welcome Awais, you will love Ulitmate...let's see if we can get it all installed for you

Did you burn it on the slowest speed possible? This can make a difference.

The other thing it could be a bad download, you could try redownloading to see if this makes a difference.

I know that one of the more experienced members will have a better idea.

Howdy awais & Welcome to Ultimate Edition !! Thanks to Angel for those ideas, always the one's we recommend checking first, here's some other ideas put together for laptop users having problems can refer to & try viewtopic.php?f=39&t=1284 ...an item I deciphered from your sys breakdown in first post was your memory (512MB ??) That may be what's holding you up...although Ubuntu 8.04 (or other version) only requires 384MB, Ultimate Edition can require up to 784MB...you might try (from the UELiveDVD) to go ahead and set up your 'Swap' partition (suggest 1.5GB)...this has been known to have helped others get thru the installation...If after all this you still can't get Ultimate Edition installed, then post back here and we'll see what else we need to do to get you running
