How do I install ubuntu on a laptop that has had its windows operating system removed?

As a charity we have been donated an HP laptop. Unfortunately it has been cleaned to such an extent that the original VISTA operating system has gone. I have created a USB drive containing the ubuntu linux system, and tried to use this as the boot. However, after a short time the boot hangs. Is there any way I can install linux on this laptop?
