Hi Jacob,

I apologise for not realising this sooner-- Matt's pointed out that the 
bios on your netbooks is, at a minimum, a bit odd. I'm sure you're now 
frustrated by us all yelling at you! (well, maybe not yelling, but 
insisting that it *should* work)

This page may/should have what you need:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromWindows

Scroll down to the "CD Image approach" section.

Alternatively, you *may* be able to re-install using wubi and select 
something like "full installation" (rather than "install inside Windows").

I hope this helps.
