It wasn't successful. I downloaded a new image from another mirror 
server but I still have same problem. I can see the contents of my DVD 
on both machines (Windows and Ubuntu) but it is not bootable! I used 
Language Add-on CD and burned it on DVD, I am not sure if it can cause 
the problem. I am downloading the DVD of installation media for last 
chance. If it won't work I have to keep Ubuntu which does not meet my needs.
