InPCHell Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 I downloaded and burned the ISO from the Ubuntu site and when I insert this CD, nothing happens. The Auto-Play menu opens up, but the normal menu that all cds/dvds usually pop up doesn't. I've tried with a CD insert from a PC magazine and this does the same thing. I'm using Vista. Please help.

markwolfe Veteran Posted May 24, 2008 Veteran Share Posted May 24, 2008 You haven't been clear on this point, so I must ask... Did you boot with the CD? Or just insert it in a running PC? These must be booted to run. If you tried booting it, and it doesn't boot, there are a couple of likely causes: Your BIOS is not set to boot from CD before hard drive You burned the .iso image as a single file on the CD, instead of as an image (which should provide you several files and directories on your CD) You have a bad burn (too fast, flaky media, etc.) You have a bad download These are listed in approximate probability, based on what I typically see in the forums.

Elv13 Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 To est markjensen #4, get the m5d file that is available on the Ubuntu website in the download page and compare it with the one generated with your .iso by a md5 generator software (you can find a lot of them on google) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
