Ubuntu Problem

[Ecko]

So guyz as I was looking forward to try Ubuntu again I got struck in a problem
The installation CD isn't working fine but i have a backup copy if data on CD but that isn't bootable

I want to install Ubuntu from my HDD not from Live bootable CD

I can though boot into DOS at startup using some bootable CD but I want to install Ubuntu using the files from HDD

If Someone can help..!!!!

Installation Drive C:\
System P III 999MHZ

Thanx 4 help

Suse is always a hit
Just a bit resource heavy
Yast is as always the easiest method to install

I'm trying from morning to install ubuntu & till not haven't got it installed
This irritates me the most

Was trying it as gagandeep said that i should give it another try

LOL. Yes, since january on my office system. I have ubuntu on that. I have had mandriva, debian, ubuntu, dsl, knoppix, puppylinux, sabayon and centos on my home system during the same duration.

/me goes off to download archlinux and backup data on his hdd.

^Talaivar Vaazga BTW,Archlinux needs some expertise !use kdemod repository for kde which is fastest!

/me just found a few other distro names which he is downloading also to install.

just kidding yaar. I have had it with installations. For over 1 1/2 weeks, all i did was install distros.
