Installation problems with Ubuntu

Mon Mar 16 00:04:38 UTC 2009

Hi all,I am trying to install Ubuntu onto a NEC Versa P8310.I intend to make it dual-boot.I have shrunk my Vista partition and currently have 150GB of unallocated space.I put the CD into the drive, restart my laptop and the menu comes up(with the options: install ubuntu, use ubuntu without any change to my computer, check CD for defects, memory test, etc.).I select Install Ubuntu and it goes to a black screen and the CD stops whirring.Any suggestions to what went wrong and how to fix this problem so that I can install Ubuntu?
Cheers,Weixuan
