Angry Problems with Ubuntu starting up!!!
I have a live cd of Ubuntu Dapper. I installed Ubuntu onto the hard drive. It installed fine, but when I boot to the hard drive, I can't get into the login screen. It will have a white dot and the rest is black. I just have to erase the drive and install Ubuntu again. It is driving me CRAZY!!! Can anybody help me with this problem, please. Thank you!

Does the Grub Boot menu come up? If so have you tried the failsafe option? If it appears that the system is attempting to boot but flakes out on the loading of X try pressing CTRL+ALT+F2 and login as a user there. Then take a look at /var/log/messages for any errors. If you find any post them back here.
