Q: Exactly what "Linux" do you have? The name and version would be helpful.
Q: You're trying to boot from a CD, correct? Q: What kind of PC do you have? What kind of processor? How big is the disk? Is there/was there another OS previously installed? |

probably your disk was damaged.

Boot the Ubuntu (don't try to install) and open a terminal and run these commands. Post all the output
Code:
sudo fdisk -l |

Well that doesn't make a lot of sense. Try this and post the output
Code:
udevadm info --name=/dev/sdb --query=all | grep -i partition |

If you are already hosed,.. why not just manually format and try installation again? Partitioning, new file system-ing, and fsck-ing will either work, or point out any faults.
