loading ubuntu 7.10

[j&l]

I Kevin . My name is John Papineau and I am the technician for Nelson 
computers and Open source  Technology group . We are situated in Canada 
in the town of Nelson in the province of B.C.

solution to your problem :

*first *check in your bios if the boot setup  show your cd or dvd  has 
the first boot  device . In the IBM model the bios is sometime access by 
pressing* F1 key *on your keyboard and releasing it and pressing the key 
again until you see a message on your computer screen that say 
*accessing the bios*  . *Then,* look into the bios setup menu of your 
computer and make sure that your cd or dvd drive is the first drive 
selected in the boot up menu selection. After you made the proper change 
to the boot up menu , select the option in the exit menu that say   
*save change then exit the bios*. After that, the computer  will start 
again . Now, open your cd or dvd drive and put your Ubuntu disk in the 
drive then close the drive and press  the 3 following key  one after the 
other  *CTRL*  *ALT*  *DElete *.  Your  computer  should  restart  and  
the  ubuntu  disk  should  start  booting .

I hope this will help you.

have a good day
