Correct.
When I have the ubuntu cd in and turn on the laptop, I can hear the
drive spin up and the live cd starts up. I tried it on my old
9.10,10.04 and 12.04. But on my XP, Vista and Win7 cds, it starts to
spin up but goes straight to the initial ubuntu screen where you
choose  ubuntu, ubuntu recover, memory test, or Win xp.
