What version of Ubuntu? Was the drive previously partitioned? Did you use the
default partitioning?
I've installed Ubuntu on old, old machines with 32MB of memory, and 20GB
drives, and it worked fine.
You might have a drive with a problem, which the installation procedure will
not handle gracefully, or, if you didn't use the default partitioning, you may
have misconfigured the partitions.
I'd try swapping in a spare drive, if you have one at hand.

What are the minimal requirements for installation?

bought a new machine with 512 meg memory
and was able to run emc from cd.
Now I want to install it on a hard drive,
Unfortunately after it configures partition -50 % of the drive , which
is 40 Gigs, it gives a message -error,
not enough space for installation.
How do I fix it?

Hi!
I downloaded umbuntu , copyied it into cd but when I turn on the pc
it still boots from hard drive.
It sees my cd becouse it is printed on a boot up.
In the BIOS setup screen there should be some way to set the boot
order. make sure the
CD is in the list, and comes before the hard drive.
If that doesn't fix it :
When the system is running whatever is already on the hard drive, see
what the CD
looks like. If it has one HUGE file named xxxxx.iso, you didn't copy
the iso file to
the CD as a bootable image. You need to use the "burn iso file to CD"
or similar option
in your CD burning program when doing this, or it will just copy the ISO
file as an
ordinary Windows file. You want it to move the iso file to the CD
verbatim, because
it is an image of a bootable CD file system.
