Need some help with linux again!!!

I've managed to install linux now and the GRUB working (don't know why just booted and worked) but now i'll boot and I can't get onto the desktop it's just although it's in terminal full screen. I can't seem to do anything like reinstalling Ubuntu as it won't boot from disk even though i have the boot order to CD 1st, 2nd and 3rd but when I put the Mandriva boot CD it'll boot to the install screen on that!!! What can I do???

What?

Yes it is the server version.

I've managed to get into 'GRUB' like cmd and I typed boot and it said:

Starting up........

Error 8 Kernel must be loaded before booting

How do I load the kernel!?!?

It starts and then stops saying

E: couldn't find package ubuntu-desktop

Does it get it from the installation CD?
