I assume you are putting it on a netbook. If that is the case you will need to put the iso image on a USB stick and boot from there. Did you download the .iso file to a Linux System or windows?

try unetbootin

itll do what you want it to do :popcorn:

[RedSingularity]

Yes Unetbootin will work for both windows and Linux.

If you have downloaded the netbook remix, it should be a .img file. To install, follow the instructions here (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromImgFiles) for windows and select the usb drive and the image file, then write it to the disk. Then you sould have a bootable usb drive.
