It would be a really good idea to md5sum your downloaded iso. All your error gives you is that the filesystem cannot be mounted, not that you have two identical errors from different downloads.

there doesnt seem to be any md5sum program anywere with the download just a text file that does not show any of the information asked for on the https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM#md5sum site so anywhere that i can download it to use the check?

A bad download was your problem. Always md5sum the download to conform that you got the exact binary file.
Then burn the cd as slowly as possible (usb not necessary),
run mediacheck on a cd to confirm it was written correctly,
Then attempt to install. Check ram every now and then is a good idea also.

In a terminal, check the other access points seen by your computer with
sudo iwlist scan
Look for your ap, and any others on the same channel.
Look at their signal strength compared to yours.
If you have other strong signals on the same channel you are using, try another channel.
1, 6 and 11 are the set of b/g channels which do not overlap. The intermediates all overlap to some degree, so I avoid them.
Consider buying a disk from the Ubuntu store. I used to get disks from CheapBytes, but don't know what they sell these days.

Can you help with this problem?
