I tried to burn another cd, because my first one didn't work. The first cd I burned said there was an error before it finished burning. The second cd burned, but wouldn't boot. The third cd I burned would boot, but when I selected check cd, it said, "Error reading boot cd."
So, I downloaded Ubuntu Desktop again. I did the MD5 check and it was fine. I burned a cd again, and it got an error again before finishing. The second cd wouldn't boot, and when I checked it in My Computer, it said it was blank. I reinstalled the ISO Recorder. I then burned another cd, it booted, I selected check cd, and it said it had 9 file errors!! I then selected "Try Ubuntu without any change to your computer," and the Desktop did come up after several minutes. So I played around for a little while. I checked out all of the games and applications. I messed around with OpenOffice, which is pretty much like MS Office 2003 (Word, Excel, and PowerPoint). I went to the Terminal and played around with the commands.
Next, I am going to try burning Desktop on a different computer because mine is obviously having a lot of issues with it.

Trying to boot Ubuntu Desktop
First I put in the Desktop boot disk and restarted by computer. The Ubuntu screen came up and I was asked to pick a language. Then I scrolled down to check the cd. It said it was loading the Linux kernel. I thought it might be stuck at first, but after a couple of minutes it said it was checking the integrity. This took about 5 minutes, at which point it said that it found errors in 6 files. It asked me to press any key to reboot, which I did. It then asked me to pick a language again. Then I selected "Try Ubuntu without any change to you computer." It said it was loading the Linux kernel again. It said it was 100%, but then it just sat there. After about 20 minutes, I pressed F1 for help. It then thought for a while and then started rapidly repeating a couple of lines over and over. I tried to write them down, but they were going so fast it was hard to read. I think that it said:
SQUASHFS error-
unable to read page block 29f9fc73
sb_bread failed reading block Oxa7e8d
I wonder if I should just download Ubuntu again and create a new cd?
By the way, I booted the cd on the computer I burned it on. I did the MD5 check and it was correct.
