Okay, we need some more information.  Where did you get the CD?

Is it a Desktop CD?  Did you install Ubuntu (you would have clicked an
Install icon) , or just run it?

When you get the disk read error (with no disk inserted), turn the
computer off (hold the power button down if necessary), then back on.
You should boot into Windows.  If not, post the exact error message, please.
