Since the Acer Aspire 5515 does not have a CD drive, I am curious about where you put the CD.

Perhaps try the Ubuntu Netbook Remix instead, it's carefully redesigned for this type of machine and is setup to avoid needing a Cd/dvd-drive

I guess the help-guide
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootFromCD
didn't help much?

I hope something here helps a bit
Good luck and regards from

I had a look around google for a picture but found that Andre is wrong for once and the 5515 does have a dvd-drive! The best picture i could find was this one :(

but i also found 2 other forum threads dealing with this issue although the first link is also stuck and i didn't really look at the 2nd link

I still think it might be worth having a quick skim through
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootFromCD
just in case there's something at the end there :)

Good luck and regards from
