Welcome to LQ ismar89!

Now, you gotta be as clear as possible

does it have a cd drive?

what do you mean you dont know how to boot or open cd?

you mean the iso image?

ok
you when you boot after doing a reboot and boot off cd it freaks out?

when you boot up, at boot menu for cd

hit F6 and choose noapic, etc

did you google if theres info about ubuntuus and that computer?

Did you do the md5checksum after downloading the iso image? Did you burn it as an image file at a low speed? Do you have the CD set to first boot priority in the BIOS so that when you reboot, it boots from the CD? You usually will have to hit a specific key on boot (F2, F10, DEL) to get into the BIOS. You can see this when booting, usually on screen for a few second at the bottom of the screen although I've seen it at top right.
