Could you first check MD5 of your Ubuntu CD ? It looks strange it happens on both computers.

I DONT THINK THIS IS SOME THING RELATED TO A CORRUPTED CD. I USED THE SAME CD , EARLIER VERSION TO SUCCESSFULLY INSTALL ON WINDOWS VISTA /XP . I CAME TO KNOW THAT THERE IS A BUG IN UBUNTU THAT MAKE IT UNABLE TO HANDLE THE WINDOWS BOOT LOADER PROPERLY . THERE IS WAYS TO SOLVE THE MATTER USING BOOTLOADERS LIKE EASY BCD . BUT I DONT WANT TO USE THAT .

Have a look at
    https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
But most people succeed to install dual boot, so else you have a problem with CD, else your both machines have same problem.
If this procedure fails, we will have to edit the grub.cfg file.
In this case:
In a terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), type the following command:
   sudo parted -l
where "-l" is lowercase "L". This will display list of partition.
   grub-install -v
which will display version (0.97 = Legacy, 1.97 & 1.98 = Grub 2)
