Need help installing Linux Ubuntu on HP Vista Laptop?

I’m trying to set up a dual boot system on my HP pavilion dv6000 laptop running Windows Vista, but when I try to load the live CD, after i click “Run or install Ubuntu 7.10″ it prints out this list, then near the bottom it says something like “no such file or directory” about 4 to 6 times.
I obviously have “boot from cd” enabled, is there anything else? HELP?!?!?!
Yes, I have partitioned my hard drive, but it still doesn’t work. I’ll try that F6 thing but i dunno…

[Linux] Ubuntu cant start – fix of liveCD booting problems ( GRUB )

You cant run LiveCD because it cant run correctly, errors? If yes, this video is your YOU! :) GRUB

how will does linux run on a usb flash drive?

I thinking about installing fedora 9 live cd on to a usb flash drive to use on my notebook. How fast does linux run off the flash drive? Is it faster then using a live cd? Can i get it to save the password for my wireless network? Will i be able save files and install programs?

thanks

What’s a “live CD” of a distro?

I was reading another post about switching from windows xp to linux and came upon using a live CD instead of installing? Is it something run from a cd only? What’s the difference between using a cd and actually installing it?

Linux wont run on my computer, It gets stuck?

So i downloaded two different kinds of Linux, Ubuntu and openSUSE both are live CD’s. The problem is that they freeze when i try to boot them. Is something wrong with my hardware?

Here are some spec about my pc:
Intel Pentium 4 3ghz
graphic card nivida Geforce 5500 fx
1gb of ram
The pc i have is HP pavilion a1240n with was produced in 05 i think….
And I’m also running windows vista ultimate but i dont think thats a problem
