I downloaded Ubuntu yesterday, burned it to a cd and tried to install it on my pc using a clean drive(new), but Ubuntus label and progress bar just stays on the screen, nothing loads up I've let it run for 2 hours, but no progress.

The drive is only a 120GB one, pre-formated with ext3 set as primary.

Any Ideas?

I would suggest that there's something awry somewhere, check the download and burn.

You shouldn't have any trouble installing it to a 'newish' machine
