Answer 1

Check out this tutorial.  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Burnin...  it gives you better directions than most can give here and a good step by step on .iso file burning. The ubuntu help forums are a great place to get answers. Hope that helps.

Answer 2

An ISO is not a readable file, it is a disk image which needs to be burned to CD (no, not just copied to the cd, it needs to be burned with something like

http://infrarecorder.sourceforge.net/

Once the file is recorded to the CD, shut down windows and reboot from the CD.

Since I can sense you are a newbie, be careful on install........Email me if you want BEFORE installing

Answer 3

You need to burn the iso file to a CD. Get a program to do that, such as ISO Recorder. After you have burnt it, put it in the drive and reboot.

Answer 4

you cant open the file, it must be burned to disc first and run from the disc, burn it as an iso file
