If your PC doesn't boot from the Ubuntu CD ROM (or more correctly, doesn't even
try to boot off it) you will probably need to set up the BIOS of your PC to
enable booting from a CD drive.

If it is trying to boot off the CD but failing, that's quite different.

Can you let us know which is happening? 

Cheers,
