Mmmh, So that probably means that the ISO file you downloaded is corrupted or hasn't been burned correctly by your Cd burning software. There always are some very small chances that ubuntu won't boot from the CD because of some specific hardware but the boot sector of the CD is a simple Isolinux Bootmenu which should work on any computer. I installed ubuntu from this CD on more than 20 computers in the last year.
I suggest you to download again the ISO ( i386 for Intel and AMD64 for AMD64 processors ) from here : http://releases.ubuntu.com/7.10/ And if it doesn't work with your actual burning software, you could try with another one. Thanks for your comments here, I'll look at this with until we get a solution :) A correct Boot CD should contain this : -r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 42 2006-05-28 10:36 autorun.inf dr-xr-xr-x 10 root root 6144 2007-05-29 11:19 bin dr-xr-xr-x 2 root root 2048 2007-10-15 19:53 casper dr-xr-xr-x 6 root root 2048 2007-05-29 11:19 disctree dr-xr-xr-x 3 root root 2048 2007-10-15 19:53 dists dr-xr-xr-x 2 root root 2048 2007-10-15 19:53 install dr-xr-xr-x 2 root root 14336 2007-10-15 19:53 isolinux -r--r--r-- 1 root root 33690 2007-10-15 19:53 md5sum.txt dr-xr-xr-x 2 root root 2048 2007-10-15 19:53 pics dr-xr-xr-x 4 root root 2048 2007-10-15 19:53 pool dr-xr-xr-x 2 root root 2048 2007-10-15 19:53 preseed dr-xr-xr-x 5 root root 2048 2007-09-25 05:40 programs -r--r--r-- 1 root root 222 2007-10-15 19:53 README.diskdefines -r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 255358 2007-03-25 12:28 start.bmp -r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 38912 2003-11-17 12:09 start.exe -r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 95 2005-06-29 04:23 start.ini lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 1 2007-10-15 19:53 ubuntu -> . -r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 193110 2006-05-28 10:36 ubuntu.ico -r--r--r-- 1 root root 644264 2007-10-11 20:26 wubi-cdboot.exe -- CD does not boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/154134 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
