Linspire 5.0 on Dell Inspiron

Hi Everyone. I'nm new to Linux. I'm trying to run Linspire 5.0 (initially from Disk) on my Dell Inspiron 6400. The Linspire disk works fine on my HP Desktop.

As it loads, I get a "FATAL: CD search failed" message
It prompts me to type exit After typing exit, i get 20 lines to the effect that the program is looking for a mount point device, file and or directory.

Does anyone have any ideas?

where did you get the CD from? Was it a long while ago since you installed it on your HP desktop? looks like the CD has gone bad.

After it failed to boot on my Inspiron 6400, I did a reboot of the Dislk on my HP machine and it worked fine.
