there is no reason for your ubuntu cd not being read by your cdrom. you could try specifying the burning speed to 8x and it should work out.
I dont think there is a way to install from the hdd, unless you do it with vmware.

w3bd3vil: i made it 24x, but rather being not operational, it becomes unbootable!!

Hard Drive Install
1.) Place Ubuntu ISO onto a seperate partition/hard drive as to what your install Ubuntu on.
2.) When the CDROM drive fails to ignitiate stage 1, it will prompt you with other methods of installations.
3.) Select Hard Drive Installation
4.) Enter in the location of the ISO then begin.

no 2 is not applicable with me, the cd starts but show me i/o error
