They're both different ISOs. The Desktop ISO is a live CD image but the Alternative ISO is a text only installer. It won't boot from CD into a desktop but rather have a text based installation program which will enable you to install a working desktop. One tip would be to try and set the video card to VESA if possible. You should at least get a desktop up then (I really can't stand that bulletproofX which is in Ubuntu 7.10/8.04, I'd rather stick to editing the config files by hand).
