Help with installing Ubuntu 6.10

[ikegreg40906]

I have an Asus p5s800-mv Motherboard with a Intel P4 650 3.40 Prescott Processor with a western Digital Sata 250 Gig Hard Drive installed. My problem is when I try running the Ubuntu live CD, all it does is run the splash screen, like it's frozen. Can anyone tell me what could be my problem.

Maybe you've got a bad burn? What about trying a different CD/DVD Drive to run the disc from?

I had the same thing yesterday with an Ubuntu install. Ended up being a bad download or bad disk. I downloaded again from a different site, which was 3 times faster, and burned a new disk. Problem resolved.

Sorry if this sounds too obvious but are you booting from your cd drive? (The splash is all that comes up otherwise).

when I try to install, i put the disc in, and it still boots up windows, i dont get it...

You have to change the boot priority in the BIOS. If you don't know how to enter the BIOS report back here.
