Hi,All cd's and burners are not created equal. I've had several instances where a live Ubuntu cd would not work on one computer, but worked perfectly on another. If you burned it the computer you are trying to boot it on, it should work. If you have both a burner and a player, try it in both. If it was burned on a different player, please burn one on the computer you are trying to boot from, and then try booting from the burner drive.

I needed to do this and change the boot order so I could preview and also install 11.10.It was that way before I went to a dual boot system. It still set for that.Don On 10/18/2011 08:18 PM, webmaster for Kracked Press Productions wrote:I cannot get a 11.10 CD/DVD to do a "live demo" on a Ubuntu system. My only Windows machine I have working is dual boot and I cannot get it to boot from the CD. It keeps going to GRUB. When I choose Win Vista, it does not boot from the CD then. So I cannot see what 11.10 looks like. Since it wants to boot at 1920 by 1080 [nVidia MoB graphics] and my monitor max out at 1368 by 768, it causes problems.I still will use GNOME/KDE combo for my desktop and packages.

I still prefer traditional menus such as KDE or Gnome or any of the others but i get the feeling Unity is worth getting to know. I like the way the top-taskbar becomes the title-bar when you hover the mouse arrow over it and i really like the way that accessing LibreOffice and Firefox is so easy! ;)Regards from Tom :)
