Hi :)

This is all looking confusing but don't worry, you can work your way through this fairly easily but perhaps not super-fast.  The first thing is to try a LiveCd session of Ubuntu - so, put the Ubuntu cd in the cd/dvd-drive and reboot the machine.  It should take you to a menu saying "Try ubuntu without changes to this machine", if not here's a guide to help
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootFromCD
choosing that default option to try Ubuntu should get you to a working desktop that we call a LiveCd session, if it works.  This LiveCd session should have firefox on the top taskbar able to surf the internet into here.  

Good luck and regards from
Tom :)
