I downloaded and burned the Ubuntu image to a DVD+R then proceeded to install it to a 30GB partition split from a 250GB drive which was done in Windows. I installed it there, but now what do I do? There is no option to boot into the new install when I start the computer. The partition doesn't show up in either boot menu or the My Computer window.

Maybe GRUB wasn't isntalled correctly, or to the right drive/partition. Trying the Boot-Repair program might fix it https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair
And does your computer also have Windows 8 / 8.1? This question might be helpful too, though you've already installed Ubuntu there still should be some booting info too... Installing Ubuntu Alongside a Pre-Installed Windows with UEFI
