no,you can install ubuntu on system without operating system.

1) did check md5sum of download? see howto md5sum
2) burn cd image slow possible.
3) if cd boots,there option check integrity of cd.
use make sure cd readable cd drive installing from.
4) there memory test option on install cd,sometimes worth running on machine installing on,as additional safeguard.

luck

p.s specs on machine enough run live cd,but slow running off cd
