I tried to burn a ISO to DVD of Mint i downloaded from the official web site,it burned ok but would not install for some unknown reason, so can someone recommend one that actually works.
My base OS is Win 7
I`m in process of installing old version of Mint 32-bit, My question-Does this have a auto update feature ? What burner is recommended to use with Mint to burn ISO images in usuable form to a DVD.

To create a live system from a .iso image, you need to burn it as an 'image' to your DVD, (just saying in case you just wrote it to DVD as a file).

It is possible that you got a faulty download, did you check it before burning it(?).

Did you
1. Check the download was sound, using the checksum
2. Burn at the minimum speed
3. Make sure that what ended up on the disk was the contents of the iso file, not the iso file itself?

I have no personal experience of Windows, but this looks like what you want

How did you burn the disk?

Windows 7 does have a built in disk burning utility. If you right click on the ISO file in the File Explorer browser there should be an option to burn as image.
This should create a bootable disk.

Your first question is a bit ambiguous and I suspect the answer is no but we really can not answer until we know what version you are actually trying to install.

As far as i know it was ok. Need to install on PC not a live usb etc.

I tried that also, same result.

I did that it still did not work but are you saying to"High Lite" the files in the folder linux then burn them to disk ?

Several months ago I downloaded Linux Mint 19.1 (64 bit, MATE desktop environment) from their web site and burned it to a DVD using a Windows program named ImgBurn (free download from www.snapfiles.com). That DVD worked.

Did you use your computer's Boot Options menu to start up from the Mint DVD? Holding down the F12 key during the very first screen starts it on my Windows 7 machine (Dell Optiplex 980). Other manufacturers may use the F8 or Esc key to get to the Boot Options menu.

What are your hardware specifications? As far as I know, all PCs that came with Windows 7 as the stock operating system can handle a 64-bit OS. I am not certain, but I am pretty doubtful that there is an upgrade path from a 32 to a 64-bit OS other than a clean installation. You will need a 64-bit OS for best results if your PC has 4 or more GB of RAM.

Do you really have a 32 bit machine?

If you did burn a dvd correctly and tried to boot a 64 bit on a 32 bit system I think it has a warning like you need a 32 bit system. Would not install suggests that you got the dvd to start it's installer.

Depending on the distro you can usually update/upgrade and even distro level upgrade. Usually are better off using the most current iso over trying to update and upgrade.

What are the symptoms? What do you mean by "would not install"?

Give you 8 to 5 it's something to do with this.

Which "old version?"

I tried to do a clean install of linux mint with a image i downloaded from the official website.
I used a win 7 pc to download and burn using both default & 3rd. party burner that was set to use iso but it would not find or load the iso on disk after burning & attempting the clean install on a laptop, none of this with a purchased copy it loaded no problem. Let me clarify my question...Do i need to"High Lite" the files then burn to disk >? This i did not do but think i remember a message that only one file at a time can be burned or selectd-not exactly sure this was with the os install though.
No problem using either 32-64 bit os so it`s not the PC or Laptop but something to do with the burned image-I think i`m doing something wrong somehow.

PC & Laptop can use either 32-64 bit no problem. I tried a clean install of 64-bit downloaded from the official web site-I`m doing something wrong with the burning-I dought both burners could be faulty & os + media as well.

Wrong, i installed a old mint edition with no problem-Both PC + Laptop run 32-64 bit no problem...Just a misunderstanding of my post.
No problem there either i`m new also. I hope this help`s.

I now have a 32-bit edition of mint "Serena"18.1 installed so do you have any info about linux i might find helpful ?
