I have downloaded ubuntu-18.04-desktop-amd64.iso and would like to run from cd without destroying my existing Windows System.  I burned the iso file to a dvd. What do I do next? What do I do with this iso file?

I'm a little confused as to whether I should install Ubuntu on its own partition on my hard drive, use VirtualBox or another virtualization package to install it, or use Wubi to install it directly on top of my current OS (Win 7). I definitely want to learn and use Ubuntu, so this is not just for playing around with it.   Also, if I choose to partition, should I partition the hard drive myself or should I let the Ubuntu installation menu do it for me? I understand that I am going to need a main partition, for Ubuntu's core components, and also a swap partition. Then there is the option to add a partition for "home"- I don't understand what combination of these partitioning options I should choose, or whether it is better to partition in Windows before I install Ubuntu or just partition my hard drive when I install Ubuntu itself

I have a HP with Windows 7 installed. I want to do a clean installation of Windows 8 from a bootable DVD.   I purchased my Windows 8 32-bit core from the Microsoft store and I received my product key. I then burned the .ISO file to a blank DVD using imgburn. When I restart and change my BIOS to boot from internal CD/DVD and then boot from my internal DVD, I start the installation process.  After I pass the screen where I select the language and location, and click Install it stays there for a minute and then it says:     The product key entered does not match any of the Windows image   I did my research and learned that I need to add a PID.txt file to my source file containing the Windows 8 .ISO but the thing is: I do not know how to add files to the .ISO. The guide I researched is for a bootable USB and I am using a DVD.

There's plenty of software to mount an .iso image for reading, but is there anything (for Windows XP) that would do the reverse, i.e. act as an "virtual CD-R drive" so that burning onto it would result in an .iso image to be created? Like PDF printer drivers, but for CD-R.  I have a legacy application that can only burn onto CD, but I would like it to create .isos instead.

I have downloaded Ubuntu 10.10 and burned the ISO but it will not boot.   I discarded problems with the ISO, as I've downloaded from the official website with no errors, and burned it with no errors. I discarded problems with the burning, as looks like it was recorded with no errors here and later in another computer. I discarded problems with my DVD reader as other cds boots fine.   I'm currently using Ubuntu 9.10, I know I can upgrade via internet, but I have this same problem with my Windows XP cd, so I really would like to discover what's going on here.. My Ubuntu 9.10 cd boots just right, but the new one not.  What else can be? Or what more precise tests can I make to discover where's the problem?   --More info  What happens when I try to boot with the Ubuntu 10.10 cd is that it behaves like there's no bootable cd in the drive. It just don't find the boot on the cd, and start the HD system.  My notebook is an Amazon PC Intel Celeron 1.5 with 2Gb memory, a DVD-RW driver, HD samsung with 260GB.  --update  If you put the media agains the light and see the other side, does that means that it's a bad quality dvd media? (it's a Philips)

If I don't want to install a GUI, just install a minimal Ubuntu amd64.  Ok, but: I heard that I can still run e.g.: Firefox in a "framebuffer" (?), so I'm asking, that how can I run e.g.: a VLC media player through a framebuffer under console, without "GUI"?

I downloaded and installed Ubuntu from the official site. However, I don't know if I installed the 32-bit or 64-bit version.  In Windows 7 I could right click My Computer and it listed which version it was.  Is there an easy way to check in Ubuntu?

I just installed Ubuntu for the first time and am trying to figure a way to play Windows games on Linux. I've read you need to use Wine, and I'm just wondering how exactly I go about doing this correctly. I've read a lot of conflicting information.

So basically as it stands I have a laptop which has no cd/dvd drive, and I don't have a usb drive.  The laptop has windows 7 installed with ubuntu 11.04 installed through wubi.  What I want to do is remove windows completely, and make ubuntu the only OS installed on the system.  Is there a way to do this without re-installing ubuntu? (i.e. can I take my wubi install away from windows?)  or is there a way to from inside ubuntu have it run the ubuntu iso somehow so I can just wipe the system and install it fresh? (even if it means I need to have an e.g. 2gb partition just for the image to reside in).

I downloaded the ISO from , selecting the default "Ubuntu Desktop" option.  The website links the page  which gives instructions how to verify ubuntu.  This seems pretty tedious, and I am wondering how realistic it is that there is a problem with ISO downloaded from the official website. I note that the process of verification itself requires me to download software that is new to me, thus introducing another attack vector on me even as I am closing another one.  For what it's worth, I am planning to use Live USB only and not to fully install Ubuntu. Does that make a difference?
