LiveCD won't run on my Toshiba notebook

I have a Toshiba Satellite C551-A notebook. It is setup to dual boot
Win8 and Ubuntu 13.10. I use it mostly to test stuff, while
experimenting I remove Python 3 and pretty much crippled the system. It
still boots but is missing a lot of functionality.
I was planning on using it to test a distribution upgrade to 14.04 so I
decided to reinstall 13.10 and then do the upgrade, but the liveCD I
used to originally install Ubuntu will not run. Doesn't matter if I
choose to run Ubuntu or install it, it gets to white letters on black
screen that scroll by and then the screen turns black and nothing
happens after that. As a test I put the CD in my desktop machine dual
booting Ubuntu 12.04 and Win 7 and it will allow me to run Ubuntu from
the liveCD.
Anyone have any idea what is wrong?
Thanks, Jim
