hey samfrancis1,
please tell us more: what have you been trying to do?

[samfrancis1]

o.k

i have downloaded Ubuntu Linux yesterday and coundnt get it to run, i was advised by my current OS to get a program to open the .iso files.

I did this and nothing happened then, ive tryed just about everything(ie. rebooting with CD in, trying to copy the inner files within the iso to another CD-RW)

Ive tryed alot of things, nothing works though :(

Enter your BIOS and set it to boot from CDROM first, then insert the CD and it will boot.

[samfrancis1]

I have went into BIOS settings and it did nothing.

I dont no if i went into the wrong BIOS settings

PS:I am currently using Windows XP Pro, where do i get the BIOS for that OS!

For most BIOS you should press the 'del' key when booting.

[claudius]

did you burn the iso properly? (eg with nero - "burn iso")

[samfrancis1]

well, i have Nero but i used Windows to do it(ie. dragged file into CD-RW drive and pressed write to this drive)

[codejunkie]

First windows built in cd-burnning will not burn iso files it just makes multisession backup cd's and audio cd's so don't use that. use a new disc and burn the .iso file using nero's burn image to disc function also select the disc-at-once mode this should solve the cd problem see if it boots correctly after that. if it still won't boot
then try changing the boot order in the bios.

O.K, i will try using Nero to burn it, all elts fails i dont no what ill do!

Make sure you don't put the iso as a file on the cd. If you are using nero, I think you should go to file -> burn image and then select the iso.

dam im confused :?

ill try this and then try urs, ill do every option possable!!!!!

[samfrancis1]

Make sure you don't put the iso as a file on the cd. If you are using nero, I think you should go to file -> burn image and then select the iso.

For Nero 5.x do the following:


Launch Nero.
Choose File, Burn Image and you'll be presented with a dialog box.
Click on the Files of type: dropdown box and select All Files (*.*).
Select the .ISO file you downloaded then press Open.
Next, Nero will show another dialog box of CD burning options. Accept the defaults:

Type of Image: Data Mode 1
Block size (Bytes): 2048
Image header (Bytes): 0
Image trailer (Bytes): 0)

Choose OK.
The Write CD dialog box should appear next.
Make sure Write, Finalize CD, and Disc-At-Once are checked, then choose Write.
Tips:



You must use the “Finalize CD” and “Disc-At-Once” option in Nero, or you will get the error: "FATAL ERROR: Installation
of side by side assemblies failed" during setup.

You must specify *.* for the file type to see the .ISO file.



For Nero 6.X


Launch Nero.
Choose Recorder / Burn image
Browse to the location of the ISO file and select the ISO file you want to burn to cd/dvd
Check the option "Finalize CD (No further writing possible!)
Click on "Burn" now.
