Ubuntu

I Already have Ubuntu in my hard drive, but I can not open it!!

Asked by elMexicanMojado

Well, I download Ubuntu from this site a few minutes ago, and I got it in my hard drive, but when I try to open the file, a little window shows up and says:
   Microsoft Conection Manager
"The service profile is damaged, re-install the service profile"

O.K Guys, as you will understand I don't know nothing about computers, so please help me, TNX4U!!!

I guess you downloaded an ISO file, which is a CD-ROM image.
You have to burn it on a CD or a DVD, and then reboot your computer (make sure he boots on the CD-ROM drive before the HDD).

First must have Ubuntu 7.10 live install cd i suggest you the Standard personal Computer (is the 32 bit version)
Download it from: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download

Then burn the downloaded iso image to a cd at lower speed you can do (4x).
Here a good howto https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto

If you are installing Ubuntu on a already installed Windows...
Here a video http://screencasts.ubuntu.com/Installing_Ubuntu_with_Windows_Dual-Boot

Usually you don't need of any drivers with Linux

If something go wrong you can put some boot options, for example
some Acer Travelmate wants "noapic" kernel boot parameters
you can find the boot options howto here:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions

If you have any issue this q&a will help you

Hope this helps
