How long did you wait for anything to happen? I noticed that
startup time took longer the first time I rebooted after any
system upgrade.

Not knowing how competent you are on the computer, please
forgive me if I suggest something which is elementary to you.
How did you do the installation? Did you boot from the CD and
follow all the prompts & install to the correct drive? Did you
then select 'Startup Disc" from the pull down menu at the top
before rebooting? Was the computer running a previous
operating system before doing this?
