just put the Ubuntu CD in your CD drive and restart the computer. It will boot off the CD (as long as you downloaded the live version) and you can play with it without touching your hard drive. If you can get to a useable desktop then everything should work fine if you install it.

I don't know for Ubuntu, but for PCLOS when you boot the LiveCD
there is a menu item named "MediaCheck". This will verify that the CD is burned correctly. If it does not boot the LiveCD then most likely the download or burn is bad. MD5Sum is the checksum used to verify the ISO you downloaded is not corrupt. http://www.linuxclues.com/articles/01.htm http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answer...5sum_in_Windows -------------------- |

There is the same thing in Ubuntu. Once you boot you will get a menu where you will be able to verify the contents of the disk.
Also just to make sure, did you just burn the iso file as a file or did you burn it as a disk image. Try putting the cd in while you are in windows, does something pop up or do you just see the iso file? -------------------- "A kiss is just a kiss until you find the one you love.
