Any burner program that can handle burning an ISO image should produce the correct result.

I'm not familiar with Nero, but here are some step-by-step instructions for burning an ISO image with it:

If I get the original disk of Obuntu, will I still have to burn an image to get it to help me boot my computer?

If you have a working LiveCD already, you do not need to burn a new one. Which version is the LiveCD you already have?

The version I have is Ubuntu 9.04 2009.

OK, then just insert the LiveCD into your computer, make sure your BIOS is set to allow booting from the CD with a higher priority than the hard drive, and reboot. Ignore anything that comes onto the screen if you are logged into Windows when you insert the LiveCD.

I assume you want to install Ubuntu 9.04 on your computer?

Sort of, I was told if I use the Ubuntu disk to bootup, I would be able to get my system to bootup again. Right now, all it does is boot to the Windows logo and freezes. I use my Windows CD to try to get it to boot that way but all it does is freeze at "Windows is starting". I installed a new harddrive to install windows to the new HDD and then download the files from the old HDD onto the new HDD but a funny thing happen on the way to the new HDD, it to freezes at the same place the old HDD freezes. Then I got this great, instead of putting XP on the new, I would just put 2000 on the new one then do an upgrade. Well, got the 2000 install but when I tried to upgrade to XP, same problem, it freezes doing the install. By the way, the follow is my system config:
Emachine T5026
one 160gb HDD(old) and one 350gb HDD(new)
1+gb RAM 512mb (old), 1gb (new)
400w PSU (new)
XP pro
mobo unkn
All new items were purchase after problem started. This computer came without a floppy drive, so I have an external floppy and my BIOS don't have a USB bootup area. I found a site where bootup can be downloaded to a CD, haven't tried it yet, was going to try the UBUNTU first to see if that works. I hope this isn't to confusing, these are just some of the things I have done so far.

Well, if you boot from an Ubuntu LiveCD, you will be booting Ubuntu Linux, not Windows. You will be able to do some file operations on your hard drive and can potentially fix your Windows installation, but I would think a Windows rescue disk would be a lot more useful for your purposes.

Unless you are interested in installing Ubuntu instead of Windows, I think you may have been sent on a wild goose chase.

I will, of course, heartily recommend that you boot from the LiveCD and see what you think, and encourage you to switch to Ubuntu. :)

OK, if I install Ubuntu on my new HDD and use my old HDD as an external, will I be able to access the external HDD from Ubuntu?

Yes, accessing an external drive should not be a problem, even if the drive is in FAT16, FAT32, or NTFS format. For maximum ease-of-use, have it plugged in during the Ubuntu install so it is detected and configured correctly. If it's not plugged in when you install, you may have to take some manual steps to configure it for automatic mounting.
