I'm trying to load Ubuntu onto an old pentium 4 pc. The boot disk is good. I've checked the memory and all is OK. I run from the boot disk fine. Get the menu and select install and then I sit and look at a purple screen with 12.04.04 and 4 dots changing colour in its centre for hours. I never get to the 'prepare disk' options tab. Any ideas?

    Welcome to AskUbuntu. Can you give some extra detail, RAM, Architecture, and Ubuntu version. It would help others to help you.

if you use liveCD, then probably would be a problem, so have you ever tried to use usb boot? that is best to work one.
