    From where did you get Ubuntu installation CD? If you have downloaded and burned .iso image yourself then verify MD5SUM of downloaded image and reburn it at lowest possible speed supported by your CD Burner.
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

    worst case use the alternative CD but that sounds like bad cd symptoms. Do what DC says. Also you can run check disk from the menu provided at the beginning on the Ubuntu cd

    still run the check disk to make sure it's okay....it's rare but sometimes their burns are bad also

    Does Grub spit back an error message number? This will help in narrowing down the error problem.
    Looking for a distro? Look here.
