Trouble with installing Ubuntu from disk

Asked by Nigel Clemens

I burned the iso. onto a disk at the maximum speed in Infra recorder in Vista and set about restarting my computer. Everything was going well while I was installing Ubuntu until files were being copied. At this point, the installation process failed and crashed. The error window said the problem was probably in the disk, so I burned a new one at 4x the speed. This disk won't even get to the installation screen with an error saying something about a failure to mount something or another. Figuring this was a another disk problem, I burned the image onto another disk also at 4x. It showed the same error. So now I am working from the first disk that won't let me install Ubuntu, but at least run it. Is there a way I can install Ubuntu from here, without the files from the disk? If I can not do that, then what can I do to fix the disk problem? I would hate to have to use another disk here, and it would be so much simpler to just download from the internet from here, right?
Thank you for the help.

Also burn SLOWLY. It makes a better impression on the CD as well as minimizing the impact of jitter. Burning at max speed for bootable CDs is a REALLY bad idea.

You can also boot the CD and wait for the stickman figure and press SPACE, you can then check the CD for defects.

Can you help with this problem?
