| 616739 | 2007-11-30 07:31:00 | Wouldnt it have more than 1 file on it? If Ubuntu is in ISO format, you'll have to copy it (the ISO), to the hdd, and you'll need a cd burner and a program that can burn ISO files. |

| 616741 | 2007-11-30 07:36:00 | The instructions included on the DVD state that you must burn the .iso file to a CD first. It needs to be burnt as an image so that it will be bootable. :) I see that there is a ISOBurner program included on the DVD if that makes it easier. |

If you can only see the one file (the .iso) then you haven't burnt it as an image. If the CD looks OK, then you may need to set your computer BIOS to boot from a CD/DVD drive before the hard drive. Let us know if you need help with that. |

| 616744 | 2007-11-30 07:42:00 | So did you go into the BIOS and change the bootdisk to cd?? Save the settings, then try and boot from the cd? |
