Sikh Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 ok, you should of downloaded 1 file, and it has a ".ISO" extension. When your winRAR Icon replaces the normal Icon for the file, it will show you the ".iso" extension on the icon. Your suppose to "Burn IMAGE to Disc" or something of that sort using Nero and select the ISO File. IN alcohol its Image Burning Wizard, And then select the ISO file and burn. If you dnt understand that, Then take a screenshot of what you downloaded. So if its downloaded onto your desktop, screenshot your desktop. Cheers.

funkyjunky Posted March 29, 2008 Author Share Posted March 29, 2008 I didn't get that, at all :p Here's a screenie: And that's a Vista skin on XP :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markwolfe Veteran Posted March 29, 2008 Veteran Share Posted March 29, 2008 Arrrrgh! Don't open it with that! You see the .iso filename at the top. *THAT* is the file you need to burn to your CD as an image. Close WinRAR. When it comes to Linux .iso images, think of that as a pure evil app! ;) I have seen many people burn those files from WinRAR then wonder why the CD doesn't boot.

giga Veteran Posted March 29, 2008 Veteran Share Posted March 29, 2008 .ISO file on top where!? You're confusing me! lol On the winrar titlebar, ubuntudesktop64blahblah.iso Don't open the .iso file. Get a burner like imgburn, open the .iso with imgburn and let it burn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkyjunky Posted March 29, 2008 Author Share Posted March 29, 2008 No problem. We were all new to this at first. :) Thanks :) And I feel so nooby, usually I'm way smarter than this :p So how do I find that in Alcohol 120% to burn though. It's not actually saved anywhere. It's just in uTorrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herculean Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 I believe utorrent automatically puts all files in my documents\downloads, if not, go to utorrent, right click on the torrent and click, in the context menu, show in explorer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll get back to you after I try to install ;) no offense but if your having alot of problems just trying to figure out how to burn an iso then linux may not be for you. alot of things have to be done and installed via a command prompt.

markwolfe Veteran Posted March 30, 2008 Veteran Share Posted March 30, 2008 Meh. He's got a pretty good group of people here at Neowin that will chip in an help him out (and only one or two who offer discouragement). Even if he decides Linux isn't for him right now, we will help him remove it and get his computer set back up for Windows only boot. (Y) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

funkyjunky Posted March 30, 2008 Author Share Posted March 30, 2008 (edited) Thanks mark for helping me :) I just got Ubuntu installed and all the updates taken care of. As of now, I'm already planning on ditching Windows altogether :p @smooth: I was just having a major brain fart. lol Ok... instead of making a new post, what is WINE?

markwolfe Veteran Posted March 30, 2008 Veteran Share Posted March 30, 2008 Wine is sort of an "inline translation" for a Windows exe. It runs regular math straight through, and just jumps in to translate a Windows-specific instruction into one that runs in Linux. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markwolfe Veteran Posted March 30, 2008 Veteran Share Posted March 30, 2008 wine notepad.exe at a terminal Or usually double-clicking an exe will initiate it through wine, if you have it set up that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
