Burn it to a CD (be sure to burn it as a disk image), insert into your disk drive, reboot, and install Linux. You might try a LiveCD like Knoppiz first to get an idea of what Linux is before risking your current Windows install.

I have used nero without problem or trouble for 5 years nows give or take and so why is it i cant burn this stupid linux iso?

I download FC2-i386-DVD I run nero I selected it came up with a error

"The entered block size does not curaspond to the image lenght."

So like the forum sejested i set the peramaters as it told me but nero wont have it I have downloaded four vershion of the file incase i got a dodgy one (Thank feck for broadband) But no wont have it i even tried the ignore but when I rebooted i got the old this in not a linux disk routeen.

Ok I give up what me doing wrong

If anyones got the time then next 10 years should do it email me plz!
