You'll need to be a bit more specific. A typical procedure is to boot up in "live CD" mode, and then start the installer. Please describe in detail the steps you have gone thru and exactly what happens. When you say "asks me to enter a command", you need to tell us exactly what it says, and what you were doing before this appears.
