I currently have a CD with Ubuntu 8.10 as an .iso. Search results yield nothing specific besides this (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=422950) and google results had some technical jargon (this (https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/37991)).
Hardware manufacturer and computer code(?):
ASUSTek Computer Inc. F3JV
Problem solving attempts:
CD/DVD was not burned properly; I have confirmed the CD is an .so. It even auto-runs in Windows.
BIOS; I don't appear to have a BIOS. It flashes ASUS and then goes straight to windows loading message.
PC requires you to hold down or press a key to boot from CD; I tried to press tab, got barely one second view before it went straight to windows. Didn't work for F12 either.
Multiple CD/DVD drives in your computer; I only have one DVD player
SmartBootManager; Seems to require a floppy disk which I don't have.
My only option to install is from auto-run or Install inside Windows.
Thanks for any help
