It is possible to have a good image file, but create a faulty CD from it.

Pretty hard to diagnose with so little information and with general non specific information.
Is this a really old laptop?
BTW, you can try mack for free last time I looked some years ago... good luck with that.

If the 8.04 CD works, why not use that one? You can still upgrade EMC2 to the very latest level, without updating Ubuntu.disk still comes up with errors and or won't boot to the cd . Arrr !!!!!! I have not yet tryed to install a 10.04 from the Ubuntu site then try and add emc2

I don't think he does have a working 8.04 CD, but I still haven't figured out what this means! (pre-emptive text?)I have a old 8.04 / emc live cd that will boot to option scene than dresses and the kitt bar
Do you not know someone else with a computer and CD writer who could download and burn the iso for you?
I could post you one, but it would cost too much from UK, sure someone in US could send you one at cost.

That disk is not working right either it gets to the install screen then when you click to install it freezes in the scrolling bar screen
You could try a bootable USB key, though I am not sure that will work any better.
It might be worth booting off of a Windows CD to get the HD formatted, though that shouldn't be necessary.

I have had a new computer which would not run the 8.04 install disc and an old one which would not run the 10.04 disc, but never one that would not run either.
We don't know what hardware you have, if you want to run something else that will format the HDD and set up an ext2-3 filesystem and then try installing Ubuntu again, over the top, try the Debian Squeeze net-install 486 image.
I have installed it on both a Pentium II 400mHz (ish) and an Intel quad core fire breathing 2.8gHz machine, so it seems to run on anything.
The download is very light (168MB) and it gets the rest from the Debian servers.
I have compiled a RTAI kernel, magma and EMC2 against it, which worked fine, if Ubuntu simply won't run on your machine, but one of the versions should.
