Is'nt kubuntu a live-cd?
I find it possible but not likely that it is working all fine while it fails to install - OTOH - one corrupt file on the cd is enough to make the install fail - so this is what you should do - verify the downloaded files if you can - or burn a new copy of the cd and try again with that.
Sometimes (really - normally...) there is not only a file or iso-image to download but also a checksum-file (of a similar name but with a different extension) which can be used to verify the integrity of the downloaded file(s).
I don't know how to do this exactly but there might be instuctions on how to do it on the very site you downloaded from. That's why I said: "if you can"...
I'd rather suspect a faulty burn of the cd though and would try to burn another copy.
First verify the iso file before you do anything else.
See LQ->Linux Tutorials->LQ ISO->checking the md5sum in windows.
The checksum file should be on the server you downloaded the iso from, otherwise check the kubuntu site.
Once the file is verified, then try reburning the cd.
I did not know this tutorial - thanks for pointing at it. I thought verifying the file could prove a bit difficult when he has no linux running where he could use md5sum, so I suggested the second burn. So it's not hard to do with eighter OS...
