Dedicate more ram to the computer, leave it running while you go (after you restart(

Free OS and free apps are always a great advantage for linux.

Meh, Wubi gave me some sort of error and closed after I already restarted and got over half way done. I guess the Linux god doesn't find me worthy. That has to be over 5 failed installations for me. WTF LINUX GOD!!

You can get anything free if you know where to look. Hehe

Check if the data isn't corrupted on the disk.

Like I said, I was using Wubi for this one. No disk. I've used disks before and checked though. I've even installed fine but I always get to a blank brown screen after start-up. I don't mind, I just thought I would give it a try to learn a little about it.

Try comparing md5 checksums on that iso image then. It shouldn't fail.

Wubi doesn't give you an iso. It's an installer for Ubuntu that doesn't require any knowledge whatsoever (not that I need that). Like I said though, I'm not too worried about it.
