OP try to be specific. Are you installing 14.04? (I seriously doubt you are installing very old version)
try the "Try before installing" feature

p.s. Your system can easily handle Ubuntu.

I am not sure but it could be a corrupt image.

Try downloading another image and check.

If you don't have a working optical drive, you could create a bootable USB drive by running the image in Virtualbox and creating a bootable USB drive from there.

Do this first.

As far as I know when you boot from CD it automaticaly checks and verify each and every file. So this cant be CORRUPT image

I didn't want to create a new thread, so I'll post here.

I have a Dell Inspiron N5010. It runs Windows 7, but now it has stopped booting. I've tried running repairs from the DVD, but nothing happens. So I decided to boot the laptop using Ubuntu, copy the important files from C:\ drive to another partition, and later reinstall Windows. I downloaded Ubuntu 14.04.1 64-bit, but I didn't have a DVD, so I copied it to a USB drive and tried booting the laptop from that.

It starts and shows the main Ubuntu screen, and when I click Try Ubuntu without installing, it stops a second later, showing a screen with a lot of data. Some of it is:

Second line:
Comm : swapper/0 Not tainted 3.13.0-32-generic #57-U

panic+0xc8/0x1d7

The last line is:
rest_init+0x80/0x80

I tried Advanced Options, but it doesn't display anything there.

What can I do to get it running? Can burning a DVD solve the problem?

I verified the downloaded ISO, the md5 matches with the one on their website.

Download YUMI and then try to create a bootable USB drive from it.

I'll format the pen drive using Fat32 and make a bootable usb again, and report back what happens. I'll do it on Monday as it is an office laptop.

I'll also give YUMI a try.

If it is a RAM problem, shouldn't nothing work? Because the Windows DVD does boot and the laptop works fine, but I can only use the DVD to format and reinstall Windows, which I'll do after recovering the data. As soon as this laptop powers up, with the Ubuntu USB drive as first boot option, it gives a beep and the Ubuntu screen is displayed. Is the beep because of a RAM problem, or does every computer booting into Ubuntu LiveCD / USB make such a beep?
