Install problems

First of all, I must say that Ultimate Edition 3.01 is awesome!!!! Because I could not figure out how get it to boot off of a flash drive, I burned a DVD. No problems there. I previously had installed Ubuntu, and when I installed Ultimate Edition, the installer gave me the option to replace that, and keep what packages it could. This is the option that I chose. When the bar at the bottom got to about 50%, the installer crashed, and said to sent certain documents to the developer, but after that, the whole system froze, and I shut it down. I restarted the system (from the DVD), and tried to install again. Since I had deleted all Linux partitions, I chose the option to install to the open part of my hard disk. The second time, the install went smoothly, and I can now run form hard disk. So in a nutshell, I am saying that the installer crashed while installing over Ubuntu.

During boot up press Del to enter your bios and change the boot sequence to boot from your usb stick.
If you use Windows you can use this to make a bootable usb drive:

The problem that I was having was creating the boot-able usb drive, but the tool that you recommenced worked fine.

I like it. Fast and Simple.
You can always check out a distro first with VMware Player or Virtual box:

I only have 3 usable Gigs of Ram, so I prefer to boot "live CD's" rather than a virtual machine.

Fair enough.
