Thanks again for all your replies. I am still struggling.... I downloaded 
the CD Burner XP program and went through the process of burning a bootable 
cd with the ubunto iso file I had downloaded before. After doing it I looked 
at the CD contents and still had just the one file: 
ubuntu-5.04-live-i386.iso That is exactly what I started with so I guess I 
have copied the file to the CD not burnt it to the CD  (I definitely pressed 
a button which said 'burn' and had an icon of a cd in flames).  I did try 
and boot the computer with it but it just went straight into XP as before.

It looks like I am not using the CD Burner XP program correctly and a second 
attempt gave the same result. If you can think of where I may be going wrong 
I would be very grateful for advice here.
