Error when booting from live cd

http://askubuntu.com – I am attempting to install Ubuntu 12.04 on what used to run Windows XP. The original OS is all but dead, so I am booting off of a CD created from the ISO download. Depending on the time, I either fail to reach the menu allowing to install Ubuntu, or I select the install Ubuntu option. Regardless of this, every time I reach the Ubuntu 12.04 screen with 4 dots. When I use the Shift+F6 shortcut, I receive the following error: stdin: I/O error stdin: I/O error unable to open '/dev/zram0' I have never worked with any sort of Linix before, so I'm quite clueless as to what this means, (HowTos)

I have a Toshiba R100, I just bought a new hard drive, I was planning on dual booting with XP but every time I try to install XP i get the blue screen error. What i really want to do is just have ubuntu. The computer has an external Hard drive and usb floppy drive.

I burned the ISO 11.10 ubuntu to a cd at 4x speed and now i have a 9.10.

I am a new to Ubuntu and linux in general so I am sure it's just a beginner's mistake.

When I turn on my computer and go into the boot menu and select to boot into Ubuntu I get the error message at the bottom. I installed the Ubuntu Desktop 12.04 onto my usb external harddrive and allocated 30gB of space to it. I used the windows installer. Any suggestions?

Thanks, Matt

I tried installing Ubuntu in two different ways:

First, I tried the Windows Installer, and it goes well until I reboot the system and, when booting on Ubuntu, I get the error:

No root file system defined.

Second, I uninstalled wubi by going to to Control Panel -> Uninstall Programs -> Ubuntu. Then, I booted the laptop from the live CD and selected install.

Hi, after several trials I finally achieved to install BT5 R2 in a persistant USB using the Universal USB Linux installer (very similar to Unetbootin that gave me some problems) and the BT5 KDE 32bit ISO

It now seems to work OK, but it has a very slow booting process.

HI all, I tried to find resolution to this problem by searching all forums but could not find any, hence creating new thread.
