Just an FYI, your link doesn't work. Try a picture sharing site next time, like instagram or imageshak.

The CD might be bad, or maybe just dirty. What you should do is install Linux Mint. You can make a live CD from the computer you are using now. You should also make a USB drive bootable in case the CD drive is not working. That way, you will get the computer working one way or the other.
