Hi Fabio
Thaks for looking in to this case. 
I have verifiet that the iso (ubuntu-10.10-desktop-i386.iso) has the correct 
MD5SUM. 

Meanwhile I have tried booting my other machine on the CD, and when I had 
waited 60 minutes for this to finish, I lost patience, and interrupted. 
Now I am burning a new CD, in order to try again. However, I don't think that 
this will make much difference. 
The machine that I am playing with doesn't contain vital data, mut I think it 
is a bit annoying if the present windows installation is really gone. 
My next plan is to try installing ubuntu 7.10 from an old CD I had lying 
around, for to see if it will be able to install and enable the dual boot 
option, and thus allowing me to access the Win partition. 

I will get back to you about how this goes. 
Best regards
Niels
