[SOLVED] trying to download Ubuntu
I am a computer idiot, and I have foolishly decided to stray from Windows and want to run my laptop with Ubuntu. I have tried to downloaded Ubuntu 9.04, but the CD installer on my laptop right now only "copies" the file onto the CD as is instead of as an "image". This means nothing to me, but it appears that I have to fix this before I am able to continue. Can anyone provide some assistance?

Ubuntu also has an excellent guide for burning an ISO file in Windows or Linux. With pictures!

Its easy!
First install a burning program like Nero™.
After that when you try to open .ISO file it will be go to write automaticly.
Good Luck.

That did the trick. That the image burn was successful, and then the installation was quick and easy. Thank you
