Problems with Kubuntu 5.10

I am not completely new to Linux, but I am having problems installing Kubuntu. I get a cd read error right after I type "install" and press enter, right after booting from the cd. I know it's not a problem with the cd since I have tried several cds, and I have successfully installed Kubuntu using VMWare and the same cd. I have an Asus P5LD2 and an 80 GB sata drive. Has anyone else experienced this?

Have you tried ubuntu to see if it has the same problem? If so, then it's probably better to consult with the ubuntu data- kubuntu and ubuntu should have the same problem, otherwise it is a build issue or a KDE problem.
I'd try the ubuntu website and help people.

you prob need to disable USB2 and mayby switch you HDD's to compatible mode in the Bios... What does the error say?????

I can't remember the exact error, but it said "Cannot copy file x from the CD". I have to disable the USB 2.0 controller? Why is that?

It sounds like it's not finding your HDD correctly, You need to set you HDD to compatible mode in the bios. Only XP or win2k will run correctly with your HDD's set to enhanced mode.....
Try that, if it's still the same switch off your USB2 controller!!
I had the same issues with SuSe Linux, Debian, Mandrake and some others....and they were all using the latest 2.6 kernel!

Great, I had a feeling it had something to do with that. I'll give that a try and and let you know if it worked. Thanks!

I finally got around to installing Kubuntu again and switching the hard drive controller to compatible mode worked just fine. Thanks guys.
