    Maybe the file is corrupt. Try burning it again with slower speed.

    If that doesn't solve your problem, try re-downloading your ISO (or if you torrented it, recheck it)

    hmm. did you do the file -> image burning wizard? that normally gets the job done. just do it at a slower speed, and it should work fine. i did that exact way for ubuntu and kubuntu

    Re-download the ISO from the Ubuntu servers, not from random websites. Use fresh media when burning, and burn at a slower speed than you normally do. Then run the CD checks on your new burnt ISO to check to make sure everything went off well.
