Thanks for your reply, I know there are a lot of things that can go wrong. I have had terrible problems experimenting with Ubuntu/Xubuntu. Using later versions, I managed to partition the hard drive on this computer, but I did not get a clean install. The CD drive died while using a Xubuntu live CD. That drive was old, so I replaced it with a new one. The new one worked fine at first, but it died when I booted from the Xubuntu CD. The sad details of my problems are in a forum post:
ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1180017 I don't know what to do next. I could file a new bug report if someone has time to work on it. It did not seem likely that software could kill a CD drive, but it has happened twice with this computer. Now, I cannot boot (or do anything) from a CD.
