I think it might be the bios dude. You'll have to restart the computer and go into the BIOS and change the settings to where you can boot off the CD.

Bios is setup to boot from the cd-rom first then the usb drive and then the hard drive! I already check into that thanks for the reply

Mmm if your computer boots from the CD rom first, but it doesn't start up Ubuntu, there must be something wrong with the LiveCD. Maybe you should burn another CD.
