Systemrescuecd hangs after start

[RayArdia]

Wanting to dual-boot Ubuntu 7.10 onto a running Windoze XP installation, I downloaded systemrescuecd -86 -0.4. All went well until, after the screen shown at para 3 of the howto I typed startx after the prompt

time xx:xx root......sysresccd /root % _

Screen went grey then "Out of range" appeared but no mini hard drive picture to double click on (even though I waited a very long time). Then had to reboot via switch on CPU, same result as before.
What am I doing wrong? BTW Windoze still appears to boot, and work OK.

Very grateful for your help Falko, but regret to report that unetbootin hangs towards the end of the installation of ubuntu 7.10 process.
