Actually, I've tried that, but not with the disk; I've tried it with
what I called the 'self installer'. This is the procedure Ubuntu
offer as "the easy way" because it skips the CD stage altogether, it
just downloads directly into your files, then you find it and click
'run'. They call it the "Windows installer" and it's here:<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/windows-installer">http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/windows-installer</a><br>
<br>
But I get exactly the same result: it seems to complete the
installation process and tells you to restart, you get a screen
asking whether you want to boot into Windows or Ubuntu, and when you
try to boot into Ubuntu you get a lengthy error message basically
saying that it can't load the new OS (which it bizarrely assumes is
another version of Windows), because some files are missing or
corrupted. And that's that. <br>
