You could use the "alternate CD" this is more reliable when it comes to installing Ubuntu.

Well if you've downloaded and burned the "Alternate CD" from the Ubuntu link above then it's just a matter of booting from it to install.

Are you happy to wipe the existing data on the machine or are you trying to dual boot with another operating system e.g. Windows? If so, just follow the prompts as you boot from the CD, this is preferred.

If not, you could use the live CD and run an install just like a WIndows application and install within windows. (known as a wubi install)
