Hey,
I downloaded Ubuntu 8.10 from the official site and extracted the contents of the zip file to a folder on my windows desktop. I tried burning the contents of the extracted zip onto a dvd but the computer i wish to install it on will not boot from that disk and errors out with a disk boot failure. What do I do?

Thanks

Regards,
Neil

Extracted zip? Do you mean ISO?

Code:
ubuntu-8.10-desktop-i386.iso

It comes in one big file ( about 700 meg ) and you burn that one big file directly to CD. Nothing should be extracted.
