Thinking about it, that really sounds like a hardware issue. If you still have the same computer, can you try to put back the DVD on it and boot ubuntu from your hard drive? If that works, you might be interested to verify if your DVD drive works. Once you get into GNOME, you can run this command in a terminal to test if your drive can read a complete CD without generating read errors :
sudo badblocks -sv /dev/scd0 If you get a list of numbers one abover each other, this is a list of bad sectors on your CD. With a healthy drive, you should never get one bad block (unless the CD is damaged). You can try the same test with the same CD on another drive if your are usure about the CD condition. If possible, can you give some feedback about this?
