Just install it from Windows.

Actually, I've tried that, but not with the disk; I've tried it with
what I called the 'self installer'. This is the procedure Ubuntu offer
as "the easy way" because it skips the CD stage altogether, it just
downloads directly into your files, then you find it and click 'run'.
They call it the "Windows installer" and it's here:
http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/windows-installer
But I get exactly the same result: it seems to complete the installation
process and tells you to restart, you get a screen asking whether you
want to boot into Windows or Ubuntu, and when you try to boot into
Ubuntu you get a lengthy error message basically saying that it can't
load the new OS (which it bizarrely assumes is another version of
Windows), because some files are missing or corrupted. And that's that.
