1. Use a more recent edition of Ubuntu or the current Lenny installer
2. Use the text-only installer
3. Always be extremely verbose about errors and problems and always
include the entire error message. "won't load" is a completely useless
statement. Won't load from what? At what stage? With what error message?
What stages had completed? Which other methods had you tried? What were
the error messages from those?

Nobody can tell you because you didn't give a useful description of the
problem(s). 

You cannot expect help from a 4 line request that provides no useful
information.
