xubuntu

I'm trying to install Xubuntu on my computer. I've followed a guide to create a USB bootable drive.

I've inserted the USB stick and started the computer. I can see Xubuntu loading and after a minute or 2 it shows me a screen asking me if I'd like to use the live version or if I'd like to install. I choose install. Then on the next screen I select English as language. When I click continue, Xubuntu just keeps loading. It doesn't really freeze as I can still quit and move the cursor.

When I clicked quit, I see the live version and all is working just fine. I can browse the internet, etc.

What could be wrong?
