I used InfraRecorder to burn Ubuntu on a CD and boot my computer, and I also managed to get the Ubuntu logo to pop up after booting from the CD I made.

I did the manual installation, but at the end it says mirror bad archive mirror.

Please help.

You're getting the mirror bad archive mirror error message because you burnt the Ubuntu ISO to a CD and the current Ubuntu ISOs are too big to fit on a CD. There was a time when the Ubuntu 12.04 ISO could be burnt to a CD, but it has been updated, and now the Ubuntu 12.04.3 ISO is too big to fit on a CD, and so are the ISOs for later Ubuntu releases. So now your two alternatives are to burn the Ubuntu ISO to a DVD or else make an Ubuntu live USB and boot Ubuntu from that.
