I cant install Kubuntu...Help

Instantly · 06-02-2007, 02:56 PM

k, I downloaded Kubuntu and burned it on a CD using NERO (I bured it to be a bootable CD)
and I put it in and restarted the pc, it booted from the cd to DOS and I finally got this:

[DR-DOS]A:\>dir

Volume in drive A is DOS-BOOT
Directory of A:\
Command
DRDOS
OAK
NR
WWBMV
Readme
Autobo7
DConfig

I tried playing the cd like this

[DR-DOS]A:\>dir i:\

Volume in drive I is Kubuntu Des
Directory of I:\
Kubuntu_ ISO
[DR-DOS]A:\>

HOW DO I START THE LIVE CD OR HOW DO I START THE INSTALLATION?????????????
I HAVE NO IDEA... PLEASE HELP

First see if your computer is set to boot to CD ROM first.
Next try going back and burning the disk as an ISO I'm not sure of the settings you need for Nero...

Live CDs are an automagic process...it should start loading up the OS as soon as your computer clears POST.

I hope this helps,

yes its set to boot from cd first
what can I use other than nero... I might have burned the image in a wrong way...

yes you did, because when you look at the files on the cd there should be a bunch of files not one .iso file

Try burning it as an image NOT data.
I made that mistake a thousand times before getting it right.

Hands Down the best burner for isos. InfraRecorder
http://infrarecorder.sourceforge.net/

Im a newb and i havent used many. My fisrt attemt to create an iso was
a complete success with infrarecorder.

Never used infarecorder, but I've used Deepburner before, and its also very easy...

No matter what software you use, pay attention to burn speed. While it might benice to burn that 700+mb file in 10sec, its asking for errors. I used to always have problems burning boot disks before someone told me this nugget of info. Now I always burn my boot disks around 2x, takes a little longer, but never a problem.
