    computer, started computer, got a blinking cursor for a few
    seconds, and then moved to ubuntu (installed operating system).
     Does this sound like I have to go buy some other discs, because
    my drive is too old, and can't read the DVD?


One of my old Dell's DVD-ROM drives only reads DVD-R discs, not DVD+R discs. Any chance you're using +R? If so, try using -R and see if it is read that way.

Makes sense.  Will put -R discs on my shopping list.
