Help!! Can't get started

[Stuart]

I'm hoping someone can help. I can't find any straightforward info on 
how to replace Windows XP with Ubuntu on my not so good IBM Lapton.
I thought it would be easy, but.....
I have the Ubuntu CD: Version 7.10 (file name: ubuntu-7.10-desktop-i386) 
Is this the correct one??? The CD has been checked and double checked.
I boot from the CD
The CD whirrs away and then a page comes up with a folder named 
"Examples" and an icon named "Install".
I click on the install icon and the CD bursts into action for hours and 
hours, but achieves nothing.
