[ubuntu-uk] Problem installing v8.04 from an imperfet 6.06 setup. Help required

[Steve Laming]

If you are installing from a boot CD you have burnt from a fresh download
into a newly formatted partition, it won't know about the old installation
until it looks to configure Grub (I think), so it must be either the CD, or
a hardware issue that is stopping it.

As Lee suggests, the first thing to do is check the validity of the CD.
