Hi,

I recently downloaded UBUNTU 5.04.
the downloaded file is a zipped .rar file. I unzipped it, & now all the files and folders are there.

How do i convert these in the .ISO format.
I am really confused
I am currently working in Win XP, is there a burning software for this??

Please Help!!

You're asking for trouble. I'd redownload it in ISO format from an official Ubuntu mirror - and make sure you get the MD5 to go with it...

Then use Nero to burn an image...

make sure that after you find that the md5 is right you burn the iso very very slow like 2x-4x. and nero has an iso option im not sure about anyother burning software.

crash_override_me:

You probably just think that it is in "rar" format. If you have winrar installed, an iso file is also associated with winrar and gives the iso file the same icon as a rar file, and if you do double-click it, winrar will load and allow you to unrar it, as it is similar to a rar/zip file. You probably don't have file extensions as viewable (windows default is to hide file extensions for some crazy reason). To fix this go open up explorer and click on Tools>Folder Options>View Tab>Hide extensions for known file types and uncheck this box. You will probably find that you had an iso file the whole time.
