1. what to do next 2. whether there is some error in copying iso or in writing the live CD 3. how to find out?

They have mentioned something about this in the release notes[1]. Reproduced the relevant portion below:

"Desktop installer sometimes crashes on startup

On some machines, the CD boot fails with the message "The installer encountered an unrecoverable error. A desktop session will now be run so that you may investigate the problem or try installing again." If you encounter this error, restart your computer with the CD inserted, press any key at the splash screen (when you see the keyboard icon at the bottom of the screen), and select "Try Ubuntu without installing". Once the desktop appears, use the "Install Ubuntu 10.04" icon to begin installing Ubuntu. (567899)"
