Why can't I install from the live CD?

My install isn't working for some odd reason. After I enter the user info it sits there and then crashes and says:

The Installer encountered an Unrecoverable error. A desktop will now
be now run so that you may investigate the problem or try installing
again.

I hit Enter and then it brings me to the desktop.

This is with the 12.04 LTS desktop CD. No errors were found when I did "Check disc for defects".

It's probably possible to work on this problem further to figure out what's going wrong...but it may be easier for you to just download the alternate CD and try installing with that.

Get the .iso image with alternate in its name and with i386 if you want the 32-bit version or amd64 if you want the 64-bit version, regardless of whether your CPU is Intel or AMD.
