You say you can't get to the LiveCD menu?

I can't get there on the fresh CDs.

But then you say


If you can't even boot the LiveCD, then what exactly is freezing at 15% ??
That's the one that sort of works.

I'm burning it from a different computer. Currently there is no operating system at all on my laptop.
Just to clear things up:
CD1: Runs Ubuntu 8.10, Does not get past LiveCD Menu. (File I/O error) The CD is red.
CD2: Runs Ubuntu 7.10, CD is a 700 MB Maxell, Gets into GNOME, won't finish installer.
CD3: Runs Fedora 10, CD is White, 700 MB, Can't be corrupted, it's a fresh download from the Fedora Site.
CD3-6: Do not load at all, but should work. Maybe the ISO is corrupted?

Windows CD: Who gives a shit. But, my sources are getting me an official Windows CD to install so i have SOMETHING. Is there a way to install Linux from within Windows? The CD will come Monday (US East Coast Time).
