Ok i checked to see if the cd was fine and it had an error on it, so i was wondering if anyone had instructions to try on a flash drive since i kinda ran out of cds :/

So what Ubuntu did you download, and at what speed did burn it at? If your computer will boot from a USB you can also load the Ubuntu ISO onto a thumb with unetbootin in Windows or Ubuntu.
