Burning your downloaded Ubuntu image

Now you have a Ubuntu image on your PC, you need to get it onto a CD.

From Windows

  1. If you do not have software to burn an ISO image, download Infra Recorder, open source image burning software.

  2. Insert a blank CD-R, if a dialog box pops up - click Cancel.

  3. Open Infra Recorder, and select the Actions menu, then Burn image.

  4. Select the Ubuntu CD image file you want to use, then click Open.

  5. In the dialog box that opens, click OK.

From a Mac

To burn most ISOs, you can use Apple's Disk Utility (Disk Copy in older versions).

  1. Launch Disk Utility (Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility)

  2. Drag the ISO to the sidebar of the Disk Utility main window.

  3. Select the ISO where you just dragged it, and choose (Menu/Image/Burn...)

  4. In Disk Utility, ensure that the Verify burn checkbox is ticked (you may need to click on the disclosure triangle to see the checkbox).

  5. Insert a blank CD and select Burn

Check that verification (if available) was successful. If verification was not available, at least make sure that a sample of directories on the CD can be accessed by the finder.

From Ubuntu

  1. Insert a blank CD and select Ignore from the pop up dialog.

  2. In Nautilus, right click on the downloaded ISO and select Write to disc.
