If the "screen displayed when you install ubuntu system" is the cd
menu, where you pick the installation method and options, You should
check for the cd. That is generated by the installation cd or usb stick
that you used for the installation.

If it is a different screen, we will need a little more information to
determine what happened. 

Good luck,
