Did you check the md5sum of the iso? It could be corrupt and not booting
correctly.

In addition to the corrupt image possibility mentioned by another poster
(more probable, in fact), there's the possibility that you burned the
image file as a single file on a new ISO-9660 filesystem on the disc. This
is the wrong way to do it; you should instead locate an option in your
CD-R software for burning an image file as such. It's probably called
"burn image file," "create CD-R from ISO image," or something similar.
Some programs will handle it right if you launch them by doing a
drag-and-drop of the .iso file to the program icon.

To check whether this is the case, insert the CD-R you've burned and look
at its contents. If the problem is what I'm suggesting, you'll see the
..iso file you downloaded sitting alone on the CD-R. If you burned it
correctly, you'll see a bunch of files and directories. (I don't know
exactly what comes with the standard Ubuntu disc, so I can't be more
precise than this.)

Thanks to ALL who provided feedback. The problem was on how I was burning
the CD. I found the correct way and now everything is working fine.

Thanks again.
