Problem loading Ubuntu into used laptop

I've found that both Ubuntu and Debian are very picky when it comes to burning their ISOs. The only way I was able to solve my problem was burning the CD ISO to a DVD. Not sure why that solved the problem but it did.

I would definitely take MBparks advice and burn a copy of the Ultimate Boot Disc. Run a few of the memory tests on the machine, and also run a HD diagnostic. Sometimes HD problems look surprisingly similiar to memory issues.
