boot-failure

I recorded a bootable CD with the image that I downloaded from the Ubuntu site, using NTI CD MAKER. My laptop had a problem and I prefered to get it fixed without installing an OS. Now, when I try to run this CD it shows the following error mssage:

 Device driver not found: 'MSCD001'.

 No valid CDROM device drivers were selected

 Mouse driver was previously installed

 A:\>

If the drive wasn't working the CD wouldn't even start, I assume....So can anyone help me please!

Thank you!
