Ubuntu Desktop Part 2

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.
