Bad ISO?

[TruthlessHero]

I've never tried downloading an ISO myself, only used other pre-burned discs. Now, I tried downloading an Ubuntu ISO, burned it to a CD via Nero's Data CD burning option, but whenever I try to use it, it doesn't work. The computer I'm trying to use it on runs my old disc though, so I'm guessing it's either a bad ISO, or I'm not burning it right, but I'm not really sure of anything at this point.

I forgot exactly where I downloaded the torrent, but I know it was off the Ubuntu website.

Any advice?

My first thought is that you burned the .iso to the disk as a literal file in stead of an image.

If you open the drive (assuming a Windows system), do you have a file called Ubuntu.blabla.iso? Than that's where you went wrong.

Select BURN IMAGE TO DISK option in Nero's Menu as suggested by Freston.

Here's a good HowTo for making sure you do it all properly:

I'm not seeing an image option, but I'm guessing "Make Bootable CD" will substitute? Thanks for the help guys, feeling kinda dumb :P.

No, don't make the CD bootable yourself, or it won't work properly. The ISO image burning process makes the CD bootable by default. Check the link I provided above for proper image burning steps.
