I have a old Sony PCG-FX103 (but it says PCG954C on the label) And
have tried to install Ubuntu without success. It is currently
running Windows XP.

I get the 'Language' screen then nothing. The CD/DVD drive is reading
and there is some HD activity but nothing else. Any ideas please?

First issue - is it the cd or the machine.

Can you boot other machines from the cd?

Do you have any other livecds about that you could try booting the
laptop from?

Sorry for the delay in responding. I have tried two different
flavours to the same effect. I am pretty sure it is the PC
