I have decided to switch from Ubuntu 14.04 to Lbuntu 14.04. I downloaded and burned an iso. It looks like this:
/media/steven/Lubuntu 14.04 LTS i386/boot
/media/steven/Lubuntu 14.04 LTS i386/casper
/media/steven/Lubuntu 14.04 LTS i386/dists
/media/steven/Lubuntu 14.04 LTS i386/install
/media/steven/Lubuntu 14.04 LTS i386/isolinux
/media/steven/Lubuntu 14.04 LTS i386/pics
/media/steven/Lubuntu 14.04 LTS i386/pool
/media/steven/Lubuntu 14.04 LTS i386/preseed
/media/steven/Lubuntu 14.04 LTS i386/ubuntu
/media/steven/Lubuntu 14.04 LTS i386/.disk
/media/steven/Lubuntu 14.04 LTS i386/autorun.inf
/media/steven/Lubuntu 14.04 LTS i386/md5sum.txt
/media/steven/Lubuntu 14.04 LTS i386/README.diskdefines
/media/steven/Lubuntu 14.04 LTS i386/wubi.exe

I set my bios to boot only from the iso DVD however I gett the message, "no operating system found". I erased the DVD and burned it agai9n with the same result. I have been successful in the past with isos.

Some questions and tips:

Did you check the md5sum?

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes

Does your computer boot from another CD/DVD disk in the same DVD drive?
Does this CD/DVD disk boot in another computer?

Try to burn the disk with the slowest speed possible.

If you computer can boot from USB, make a USB boot drive and try to boot that way

-o-

It is an i386 (32-bit) system. Is the computer running a BIOS or UEFI system? You need a 64-bit system with UEFI.

I decided to use a fresh DVD and a different iso burner (although the first one I used had worked fine many times). SUCCESS

Excellent. The tips that were provided by sudodus should be engraved in gold because the great majority of all installation problems can be traced to one of them.
