Thread: Unable to boot the live dvd

-

hello forum community
have done search forums, , not finding right answer... suggestions forgive me if covered somewhere, , guide me please.

having issues installing:
downloaded ubuntu site http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop iso burn cd
burned cd power iso
repeat step again both versions 12.04 , 12.10

rather install alongside, using clean 500 gig drive.
set bios boot cd 1st, drive 2nd
insert cd power cycle, , "disk boot failure"
both cd's verify fine against file during burn.
have searched ubuntu site check-sum (md5, , other?) did not locate this.
decided download windows version installer, 12.10 , ran that, chose drive wanted ubuntu on, did 2 hour download files, gave message of "setup/ installation failure" setup exit.

figured take 3 or 4 hours download, burn , install ubuntu, , have become concerned @ 14 hours far, , no progress.
should have come here lot earlier, , wishing share concern of how long taking change windows ubuntu.

ask "what doing wrong?"

advice appreciated.

page contains hashs current (and not current) releases.

sounds you're doing right. burning .iso file disk, or copying file it? have make sure you're burning .iso...you should have numerous files , folders on cd when you're done, not 1 big file. (i have ask; it's common mistake)

other that, can't conceive of problem, short of corrupted download. can computer boot usb device? if so, download unetbootin , burn .iso file flash drive. might optical drive going. i've seen happen, too.
