Some more input here: Choose the "burn Image to disk" option here. Do not worry about various settings such as "mark this disc bootable", etc. At the end of this operation, you should not write the ISO file as a plain file onto the CD-ROM. You need to write the ISO file as an image. This will make the CD-ROM bootable. > As machine reboots go into BIOS...press DEL key or Whichever key > as appears during boot. > Change the 1st boot drive to CD/DVD. > Save changes (F10) and it will reboot. > Ubuntu screen should come up > Continue boot process and you should have a desktop. > If no GUI and as you say a dos prompt then > it means your graphic card not recognised by Ubuntu...very unlikely > now a days.
