Hey Dave. There's a good chance that you're actually copying the iso image to your CD as a file and not creating an image on the CD from the iso file. I won't even try to explain as I'm sure I don't really know what I'm taking about suffice to say it took me a while before I figured this out as I thought I understood what it meant. Check out the Ubuntu forums and search for iso burn or similar.

If you're in Windows and trying to burn the iso to CD you can download a little Windows utility from here (http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm). It's very simple although I haven't used it in a little while. When you right click the ISO image in Explorer, one of the options is to burn to CD (or something like that) and it will burn the image (not the file) to CD.

Hope this helps somewhat...

I want to install it on a PC running Win XP.  The Xp installation was partitioned 50/50
 
Problems:
1.  The 7.1 CD does not boot.
2. I don't know how to install a dual boot.  Are there some easy instructions somewhere?
3.Should I use FAT32 or NFTS?
 
Anyone able to point me in the right direction please.
