Oh well.. maybe not lol
When you boot the disk.. just hit enter at the menu.. it will boot into a fully working desktop with a shortcut that says "install" double click and follow the on-screen instructions.
Once installed you should update the system and all the installed apps.. a couple days ago that was 170mb of updates (remember your updating ALL the applications installed and the OS) there is also a kernel update which means you will need a reboot to activate the new kernel.
You will only need to reboot on kernel updates.. a ubuntu system in my work is now at over 1 year uptime and it runs like when it booted on day 1.

Punto/Clio GTT

when my main harddrive is plugged in (my sata one) my dvd drive in my boot list comes up as a different name, but when imy sata harddrive unplugged and my IDE 20 gig is plugged in(that im installing ubuntu on) my dvd drive comes up as an ATAPI CD?
anything to do with it?
cant i boot ubuntu from this harddrive with my 20 gig set as slave and install it this way? can i select which harddrive to put it on or will it go crazy and try install it on my master?
*EDITTED*

As long as you choose MANUAL at the Prepare Disk Space screen, then you can install it wherever you want.
Here's some shots of the install wizard: http://blog.dantup.me.uk/2007/08/ubuntu-installing-ubuntu-704-feisty.html

i only have 1 ide port on my mobo i think

cabbaging me. HDD goes as master, by master you mean from jumper on the back?
cdrom as slave, by slave you mean jumper on the back?
and ide plugs into the motherboard, the first plug goes into the HDD and the one that branches off goes into the cd rom?
then i set cdrom to boot first in BIOS and HDD as secondary boot?
right?

bag of w**k ubuntu tripe.
right, hooked up the ide cdrom and it booted fine, went to install ubuntu, bar came up, it started installin it, then it went to another screen where it was checking loads and loads of stuff, a black screen with white scrolling writing, LOADS of errors on that.
it then came to a screen which said ubuntu comes with free software but there is no warranty with it, please see xxxxx file for information and it froze on that screen.
restarted pc and installed it again and it stuck on the orange loading bar. so i decided to restart the pc and try again and thought ide give the disc check utility a try
20 errors on the disc.
restarted the pc and tried again, got past the orange bar and this pops up
[smug] so, great start to ubuntu which is supposidly the daddy of OS. I had 1 partition problem when installing vista, sorted it out straight away and it installed without a single hiccup.

went to Back Up tab and selected Burn Image to CD.
burnt it, 7.04, no errors no problems.
switched it all around again and it booted up into the ubuntu start screen, i clicked install and it froze on loading and then error box came up saying unable to read disc, reboot.
clicked enter and it rebooted then it went back to this screen

Your problems aren't ubuntu related.
Look, pm me your address and I'll send you 7.04 on CD, that way we can rule out dodgy ISO's, bad burns and dodgy media.

^^ He's right.
The 'problem' with Ubuntu, is it verifies itself at every step of the way, if there is any problems with your hardware... or the download of the ISO or even burning it to disk it WILL let you know !! why install a faulty program.
Downloading a large file can introduce the possibility of corrupt packets.. the only way to sort it is to download it again. Thats what the MD5 checksum is for though. When you load the ISO in Nero it will generate and MD5 checksum, verify it against the MD5 checksum that Ubuntu provides.. if they are the same you have a 100% perfect download. Burn using nero, and burn at a slower rate (no more than 4x).
The real question you should be asking is.. why didn't vista pick up all these issues with your system !
