if u've done what already mentioned then:
do u have an intel made p965 board? if so then this could be an issue. these boards have a torrid time booting off a linux cd (ubuntu is linux based!). i think this was solved with a bios update but i am not too sure |

Have done the boot sequence change and also have tried it on 3 different PC's (ranging from P4 to celeron).
When I boot it there is no indication of Ubuntu screen or anything. Windows starts up instead. Have also tried a thing called md5 checksum as stated on the ubuntu website help notes(to see that the stuff is correctly downloaded and burned on CD). What to do now ? |

LiveCD runs like a snap on high memory. My pc has only 512MB where it runs so-so. I tried a alpha version of Upcoming Ubuntu (7.10) on a friends PC which had 1GB RAM. It smoked! So fast I couldn't believe this was running of a CD. Plus having a good DVD/CD-ROM helps
