KUBUNTU XPS 8300

Question

So I am having problems trying to install KUBUNTU on my XPS 8300. I made a bootable USB and when I try to run KUBUNTU from it via F12 boot from CD/DVD. I get the KUBUNTU logo and the loading bar with a blue background and nothing else. I left it like that for like 1 hour then gave up. So I decided to try and install it using Webi.exe. I get however  pyrun.exe - No Disk There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into the drive/Device/Harddisc2\Dr2. Cancel Try Again Continue If I keep pressing cancel I keep getting the same error with different numbers Any ideas?

Thanks the wubi.exe not webi.exe as I previously wrote is common for KUBUNTU and UBUNTU. Disabling the card reader in device manager got it to work (read that about). However when launching KUBUNTU installer I just got the KUBUNTU logo with a blue screen and nothing else as before. So I installed UBUNTU instead, it works. I was under the impression if would would work so would the other, guess I will have to just stick with UBUNTU for now.
