Did you use the instructions on the Ubuntu site?

Also instructions for CD or USB

You should be able to use Windows or wubi to create a bootable USB flash drive. Some have had issues with certain brands of flash drives.

Others suggest using unetbootin:

For what ever reason it is trying to load the cd sr0?

Have you tried any of the other ways to create the USB flash drive?

Do you have a foppy drive? And if not do you have one enabled in BIOS.
