first off, don't know if can me on use can get. info possible give best understanding of problem.

ok, let me start beginning.

20 years old. have gateway m-7356u laptop windows vista home premium pre-installed on it. happened (a virus?) , not start anymore. thing can load bios point on. figured wipe hard drive , start on wipedrive 6. weeks later, found ubuntu 11.04 os on computer , wanted give try. do. downloaded using computer, got blank disc, burned .iso image onto , put disc in laptop. start up. go bios make cd rom drive run first. see ubuntu logo , excited. then, screen pops , that's know here.
stuck.

"busybox v1.17.1 (ubuntu 1:1.17.1-10ubuntu1)built-in shell (ash)
enter 'help' list of built-in commands.

(initramfs) mount: mounting /dev/loop0 on //filesystem.squashfs failed: input/output error
can not mount /dev/loop0 (cdrom/casper/filesystem.squashfs) on //filesystems.squashfs

there no ui, screen, guessing in grub 2. before installation don't tell me go dash > places , select drive. don't have os yet doesn't me.

consider myself highly intelligent when comes computers , electronics , fixing things can't seem figure out , i've tried think of. looked through many forums , support pages, how-tos, name it. don't know if can me appreciate can give me. near giving up. last option. if doesn't work, stop trying find way. @ least can have given all.

if checked cd , has no errors, may hardware failure. have booted usb?
