UBUNTU is NOT installing in my laptop?????

Firstly what is the actual issues you are having? Do you get any error messages that you can let us know?

I would suggest the following basic steps.

1. Boot the CD and choose the option to check media - this does an MD4 sum on the disc to check for any errors.

2. Boot as a liveCD. Does the desktop appear and can you click on the installer.

3. If you can do 1 & 2 above what happens when you try to run the installer? Do you get any error message? How far does the installation get??

You will need to install the Nvida drivers to get the most out of your graphics card, but the system should boot to a desktop without you having to install them.

Hai.............Thank U for ur reply........But problem is that, when i place DVD/CD of Ubuntu in my disk drive, then at first it shows pink colour background (ubuntu 11.04 version) and shows ubuntu is loading......and then automatically stopped (system will be hanged)..........It will continuously show pink colour background............It is not asking for installing further.............WHAT can i do now???
