Lubuntu 14.04 on CD

Unetboontin on C:\

I shrank C:\ using Windows 20 GB

After running Unetbootin it asks for reboot.

The choice of Win 8.1 or Unetbootin is presented.

This error comes up: lubn1dr.mbr missing

Suggestions,

Is Lubuntu on CD? I assume it still fits, as I now use flash drives and have not installed Lubuntu for ages. Full Ubuntu now needs a DVD or flash drive for the installer.

Are you booting from UEFI the CD? Not from anything else? Once you have Lubuntu on CD or flash drive, you do not need unetbootin.

I prefer flash drives as they are reusable when new version comes out. And I have burned multiple coasters (defective) CDs over time.

Did you verify that download was good?

Write image or burn image not copy ISO as one large file to flash or DVD.
