LiveCD Boot/Install
- by Jon
I have recently built a new computer and have been looking to dual-boot alongside Windows. Trying to boot/install off Ubuntu/Dedora/Arch live CDs has failed across all distros and I keep getting the error:

I am using a new ASUS Z77 Sabertooth motherboard with a Seagate Barracuda ST1000DM003 1TB 7200RPM hard drive.
I am not entirely sure why I can't even boot off the live CD? Any ideas?
Hi thanks for the quick response. All Distros were direct download from their respective websites, I have tried both CD boot with all distros and USB boot with Arch only. I have just updated my BIOS as well an am still receiving the same error.
The fact that it happens on CD and USB tell's me it's not an optical drive issue.
All information I can find on this seems to relate to hard drives failing on already installed linux boxes or faulty SATA cables. I am a bit confused why this issue would be preventing a CD/USB boot though.
Is there any more info I can provide that might help uncover the source of the problem?
Cheers,
Jon
