Hello,

DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER"

The disk is inserted and evrything, yet it repeatedly asks the same thing after I hit the Enter key:
"please insert disk and press any key".

Hi.........

1 first check that your cd is bootable or not.
if yes then
2 check your cables connected to cd rom(whether they are properly connected or not).
also try other new cable

HI :)

If this is still a problem then force the sisue by unplugging your hard-drives and the cd/dvd-drives then plug the cd/dvd-drive in again but not the hard-drives. this should solve 2 possible problems; 1) wobbly wires or bad connection and 2) hard-drive/bios defaulting to wrong settings.

Please let us know how this goes!

Also the Ubuntu forums at
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Signpost/Questions#help
or a more general linux forum such as
http://www.linuxquestions.org
might be able to help more

Good luck and regards from
Tom :)
