Cannot Boot Install HP Elite 8530p

Hi,

I was on ubuntu and got a crash when upgrading to new kernel (I lost all kernels, so i have none installed lol?).

So I decided to takethis chance and throw myself into arch linux, But that's where my probleme begin.

I got a 64bit arch and tried to install arch linux BUT my probleme is when I launch my pc, the hp invent booting menu shows (as usual), then when the ubuntu grub should launch, the pc is reading the install cd (till here every thing is normal) BUT nothing happen. the screen stays on the hp boot menu, and I can here and feel that the pc is trying to mount the install cd. The keyboard is none responsive and I tried to wait for 20 to 30 min with no signs of change.

I tried both 32B & 64B arch, with no change. and I tried to boot the install cd on another PC and it works. I check the md5 of the iso, wich was OK too.

So i'm where wanting to install arch linux on the machine I use to work with, and i have no clues of what can I do to make it work.

Can you help me please ?

(I don't know if it's of any help but the old ubuntu partition i want to erase is ext4)
