I'm having trouble installing Ubuntu 12.04 from boot disk on a friends computer. when starting the computer with boot disk the message appears:
1.
2.
Select CD-ROM Boot Type:
If I enter 1 it goes to starting windows screen and boots 7 as normal
If I enter 2 it goes to a screen with a blinking dash in the top left corner for a minute or two then goes to the starting windows screen and loads 7 as normal
