I have downloaded 12.04 from the Ubuntu site and burned as ISO image CD in a DVD (because it is 701.3MB). When I insert this DVD into my drive for installation, it does not boot. A blank black screen appears. In 8.10 when I click on update to 9.04 it shows some error. Ubuntu 8.10 is not as good as 12.04. Please friends help me to solve this problem. I want to install Ubuntu 12.04 in my pc. 12.04 boot live-cd 8.10 share|improve this question edited May 5 '12 at 21:09 irrational John 3,61521145 asked May 5 '12 at 16:55 vinodk89 6113 Just to clarify... You haven't just burnt the ISO as a file on the DVD, have you? If you start any operating system and just insert the disk, does it show you folders like "casper", "syslinux", ... or just a plain *.iso file? –RobinJ May 5 '12 at 18:39 add a comment| 6 Answers 6 active oldest votes up vote 1 down vote The question you have asked is one that occurs frequently. The difficulty we have answering your question is that it is hard for us to determine from what you have written in your question what steps you actually performed. The following questions and suggestions are an attempt to better understand (and fix) your problem. Since this problem occurs frequently, there is also a great deal of help information for it. The first thing you should do is look at this BootFromCD article in the Ubuntu Community Help wiki. While the first three topics in that help article have already been raised in earlier comments or answers, I'll review them again to make sure these possibilities have been considered. CD/DVD was not burned properly We need to verify that the media you are attempting to boot from was created correctly. I assume you have downl
get an error : "Error reading boot CD" and a reboot button. I have tried this cd on other machines and it works fine. I tried live CD of kubuntu also but the same error message appears.

RSS ALL ARTICLES FEATURES ONLY TRIVIA http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/linux/create-a-bootable-ubuntu-usb-flash-drive-the-easy-way/ Search How-To Geek Create a Bootable Ubuntu USB Flash Drive the Easy Way We've already covered how https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromLinux to use an Ubuntu Live CD to backup files from your dead Windows computer, but using the boot cd can sometimes be a little slow. We can speed up the booting process by installing Ubuntu to a bootable USB flash drive instead. To accomplish this, we'll use a tiny software package called UNetbootin, which is designed to make the installation process simple and easy. Create the Bootable Flash error reading Drive You'll first need to download the UNetbootin software and save it somewhere useful, since there's no installation required, just double-click to run. I chose to use an already downloaded ISO image of the Ubuntu installation cd, and then chose my flash drive, and clicked the OK button. Yes, this step is as simple as that. The process will extract the files from the ISO image (or download them), copy them to the flash drive and then install the bootloader. Depending on what you error reading boot are installing, this really doesn't take very long. Once the process is completed, you'll be prompted to reboot… which you don't necessarily have to do unless you want to test booting the flash drive on the same machine you are using. Otherwise you can hit the Exit button. Make Sure the Partition is Active If you get a boot device error when you try and boot from the flash device, it could be that your partition is not marked as active. What we'll do is use the command line diskpart utility to fix this… if you are in Vista open an administrator mode command prompt by right-clicking and choosing Run as Administrator. Now you'll need to run this command to figure out the number of your flash drive: list disk This will show you the list of drives, and you will use the disk number in the "select disk" command: select disk 1 select partition 1 active The "active" command will actually mark the current partition as active, which is why you need to select the disk and then the partition. At this point you should be done. Booting From the Flash Drive Now that you are all finished, you can try and boot from the flash drive. Every BIOS is different, but most of them will have a message like "Press F12 for the Boot Menu", which is highly suggested. The boot menu will allow you to select the USB drive as the boot device. (apologies for the simply horrible came
Step 3, Grub Step 4, Reboot Step 5, Grub (again) Older Versions of Ubuntu Debootstrap Alternate CD Procedure 1 Procedure 2 Alternate CD Alternate Method Troubleshooting If you already have Ubuntu installed, it is easy to upgrade using the Update Manager. However, this is not always safe, and it will overwrite your old system. If upgrading is not an option (you are running a different Linux distro than Ubuntu, or your system is several versions old), or you wish to keep your old system, you should use the live Ubuntu Desktop installer or Debootstrap. The Ubuntu Desktop installer is usually run on a DVD or a bootable USB stick. However, if you already run Linux, using a DVD or USB is not necessary. You may run the Ubuntu Desktop installer directly from your hard drive, or use Debootstrap. Note: These are advanced installation techniques and are not recommended for new users. If you are uncomfortable with the command line terminal, you should create a live Ubuntu Desktop DVD or USB. Running the Ubuntu Desktop installer from your hard drive requires an extra partition. Debootstrap installs Ubuntu directly, without using the guiding Ubuntu Desktop installer. Debootstrap does not require a DVD, USB, Ubuntu Desktop ISO, or an extra installer partition. Live Ubuntu Desktop from Hard Drive The Ubuntu Desktop installer is distributed as a .iso file - get it here. If you don't want to download an ISO, use Debootstrap. If your ISO has "alternate" in its name, you are using an alternate installation image and should see the next section. Note: You will need blank hard drive space to create new partitions. If your current system partition(s) take up all available space, you must create a live DVD or live USB. Step 1, Partition Create a new ext4 partition for the installer, using gparted. The partition must be a little larger than the install image (for example, if du-hdisk-image.iso returns 1.1GB, make the partition 1.2GB). Remember the name of the new partition (for example, /dev/sda3). Step 2, Copy Copy Ubuntu Desktop installer contents over to the new partition using the commands mkdir /tmp/install_cd mkdir /tmp/installer sudo mount disk-image.iso -o loop /tmp/install_cd sudo mount /dev/sda3 /tmp/installer sudo rsync -a /
