Try booting same cd, but choose live cd and see if it boots up and recognizes you basic hardware. If the live cd option won't work then there's a serious hardware detection problem.Originally Posted by almo214
If it boots or does not, posting a detailed description of your hardware and the results of a live cd test may help someone to see what the problem/hardware conflict is.

Re: problem installing
I had the same issue. If you have windows, boot up the windows operate system. Once you have the xp, vista or windows 7 up and running insert the disc and run it from there. Then follow the insturcions it should work if not try a different computer. Good luck
