How to burn a DVD on Windows

To create an Ubuntu installation DVD on Windows, you will need the following:

• An Ubuntu ISO file. Download the Ubuntu release of your choice from here
• A blank DVD

• Right-click on the ISO file you just downloaded and choose ‘Burn disc image’.

• Select a Disc burner (drive) and choose ‘Burn’. If you check ‘Verify disc after burning’, it will confirm that the ISO image has been burned correctly.

• Download and install the InfraRecorder, a free and open-source image-burning program.
• Insert a blank DVD in the drive and select ‘Do nothing’ or ‘Cancel’ if an autorun dialog box pops up.
• Open InfraRecorder and click the ‘Write Image’ button in the main screen. Alternatively you can select the ‘Actions’ menu, then ‘Burn image’.

• Select the Ubuntu ISO image file you want to burn, then click ‘Open’.
• In the dialog box, click ‘OK’.
