Hi,

Thought I'd try out ubuntu and saw the whole "Install Inside Windows" thing as a good way to test the water. But...

I've downloaded the ISO for heron 3 times now, on different boxes and different connections. Each has been burnt to a CD and all work fine to run as LiveCD, but when I try to install in windows I get an error at the end of the image creation "Can't read from CD. Another application is using it" or something like this.

Anyone know whats going on and can suggest a fix. I'd really like to try Ubuntu but don't want to flatten my box just to do it.

Thanks in advance.

Why don't you dual boot?

I was hoping to use the whole "Install and Uninstall as easy as a Windows application" thing, rather than messing around figuring out & configuring dual boots, vm's etc. Thats what attracted me to trying heron.
