I am trying to run Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS(32-bit Desktop image) on a Compaq Deskpro. It is running on Windows XP and has Intel Pentium 3.(Quite an old computer)

1) I downloaded the Ubuntu iso file 2) I burned it onto a DVD-R with 4.7 Gigabytes total 3) Restarted the computer and put disk inside 4) It read the bootable disk and loaded a purple screen 5) After the purple screen, it went to a black screen and ran a code automatically then stopped like this: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B54iHT2iyVPDaFhEWHA5YWxJU0k/view?usp=sharing

I tried installing Linux Mint too because I thought it was a problem with Ubuntu but it ended up with a similar screen!

Thanks

At first,verify your physical machine is fine.

And the cpu is 32bit or 64bit? it facilitate you to download a correct ISO version,it's very important.Because i have a laptop's cpu is 32bit,and i use the 64bit ISO to install.then the laptop stuck in a purple screen.

actually,you can use the usb flash disk to burn the ISO image,it's convenient to reproducing bootable disk.
