I have the correct (latest) version on the disk as it runs if I boot to windows then insert the cd. I can "sample" Ubuntu. But it does not boot or install if I do a cold boot with cd in the drive. I just get the Ubuntu word on a black screen with 5 small lights under the word. Sort of like their version of a progress bar. There it sits and the CAP light and the Scroll light on the keyboard above the number keypad just blink on and off.

Is there a boot selection to verify the media?

Sounds like a bad install disk or Ubuntu isn't handling some hardware correctly. You could also try 
a different distro like openSUSE or Fedora. Try the booting the "live" CD of a different distro 
first to test hardware compatibility.
