i tried to put ubuntu 12.04 lts on a clean hard drive and when i try to boot to the cd the splash screen hangs. i've tried it on 3 different computers (all with 1 GB of ram). 11.10 Worked fine.

  • If you are trying to install Ubuntu rather than trying it,better to select the "Install Ubuntu" from the boot menu.It will help you do things better and fast.

  • Sounds like a bad CD. Try pressing some keys when the Accessibility icons appear at the bottom of the screen and select "Check CD for defects".
