Comment:

is it possible to unpack ubuntu's contents from the iso,
burn that to a dvd.change the bios settings so it boots
from cd/dvd, put it in the cd drive, then install it? earlier i
burnt it to a dvd with nero using "burn as data disc" it
comes up as one file so it didnt work. now will unpacking
its contents and burning it to a dvd, be the same as
burning the iso as an image to a dvd?

You don't have to burn it to a DVD, it will fit on a CD...& obviously burning a data disc is NOT the thing to do. You need to select "Burn Image to Disc".
I prefer ImgBurn:

Where did you download it from? It's less than 700MB

I think if you download the cd, http://www.ubuntu.com/GetUbuntu/dow...
Boot it up, then the installer to the hard disk will be on the desktop.
I use wubi, download, run, then it will download the image needed to dual boot with windows.

The problem is you copied it. You have to convert it with Nero, ImgBurn or another burning program. It will definitely fit on a CDR. I recently downloaded it myself & burned it to a standard CDR using ImgBurn.
