Not Ubuntu needs to find the CD, but the BIOS and it does so.  You just
have loads of read errors, so much so that you don't even get to the first
menu where you can check the RAM and CD.

Please verify that the md5 sum of you downloaded image corresponds to the
md5 sum on the download site.  When those figures are the same, then
please tell us what program and OS you use to burn the image, so we can
guide you further.
