There might be some thing wrong with the your CD, so I would suggest
to try to get another one. Another thing you can do is that you can
try the same CD again.

this did not solve my problem,
had to go this way:-
alternative download options:- Ubuntu installer for windows:- now selected location:-
begin download.
NB you need to have a pre-recorded copy in the disc player not 9.10 or if will just try to install from the disc
