Ubuntu Base installation problem?

Hi everyone so ever since i started on this forum ive been seening that alot of people use this ubuntu linux and i wanted to see what all the fuzz was about so i got an old rig from my closet. 466mhz 128mb 2 driver..40 gb maxtor and a 7 gb samsung. So i installed xp on the maxtor and got on with the installation on the 7 gb with ubuntu i do have a bigger drive but this will be my test before i mess up a bigger drive...anyways i think the problem started before this

I downloaded the ubuntu iso..when i went to burn the image using nero 6 i got this message "Foreign Image File; the entered block size does not correspond to the image length. The block size may be wrong. Do you want to correct the value or ignore the problem?" when i try to correct i get a window with options Data mode 1, data mode 2, audio and hsf..i have no idea what this is so i ignored it and burned the image... restarted the rig put the cd in and it worked fine..now i went to all the partion made the / and the swap an the home/ ... when i try to install it i keep getting this error " the debootstrap program existed with an error(return value 1) check/target/var/log/bootstrap.log for details.

So my question is did i do something wrong or should i dl and burn ubuntu again..does anyone have a good link i got the link from pcmech..Thanks guys i really appreciate all the help i can get..i'll admit im a linux n00b
