Sounds more like a corrupt iso file than a problem with your comp. Did you varify the .iso file with md5summer before you burnt it?
I really would suggest that you get mandriva linux instead. Yes, I'm biased, but the reason I like it so much is that it's just so easy to install and use, and the mandriva site offers some excellent help documents for newbies (like me).

i deletd downloaded the ISO about 3 times, and got different error messages each time. maybe i will try it and see if i can get it to work. i want to install ubuntu someday too. ill download it, the when i get home, ill burn it to a cd and try it. does it have a live CD?
when i go to download mandriva, i go to the 3 CD area and all liek u said earlier, and i go to US and pick a link, then it has liek 15 more links, i just dont know what to download. thats why i liked ubuntu, it was all i one file, and just said download, not 15 links haha

You need to download the following files:
File: Mandriva-Linux-2005-Limited-Edition-Download-CD2.i586.iso 714698 KB 02/05/2005 14:57:00
File: Mandriva-Linux-2005-Limited-Edition-Download-CD3.i586.iso 712854 KB 02/05/2005 14:58:00
File: Mandriva-Linux-2005-Limited-Edition-Download-CD1.i586.iso
Looks like this on the mirrors:
They used to do a live CD but I think you have to buy it now

Yes, the installer checks your disk usage at the beginning of the process and gives you various options, such as wiping the disk clean (BE CAREFULL!) or using some of the remaining available space for a dual-boot system.
If you've already got Windows on there and you want to install Linux for a dual boot, I'd strongly recommend that you back up your important stuff first, just in case.
