Ubuntu 12.04 has preinstalled (integrated) CD burning software called Brasero. Look for it in Sound & Video.
If, for example, you wish to install 'Ubuntu' which is an operating system branching out from the Linux kernel: You need to download the Ubuntu disto of choice, burn the download onto a CD with an iso extension (or you may need a DVD if there is not enough space on the CD). Alter the computer's BIOS to make the CD the first boot, and reboot with the CD in the CD drive. Follow the instructions as they appear on the screen.
It depends on your operating system. In Microsoft Windows, the CD or DVD disc should be automatically detected and a media player or disc burning program opened on the screen for reading or writing to the disc. On my Ubuntu 12.10, I had to "mount" the CD Disc Drive before a CD or DVD was detected by the Ubuntu. If the above does not answer your question, you need to provide more information.
No you need a DVD burrner
NO.. it is NOT! It is a CD-rom, DVD-rom ONLY device. You can read both CD's and DVD's with it, but not burn them. For that you need a CD-R or DVD-R, which the sd-c2402 is NOT!
Do you mean, install Ubuntu and not enter the BIOS? To install Ubuntu using a CD, you need to enter the BIOS, setting the CD drive as the first boot. Otherwise, the computer will still boot off the hard-drive and ignore Ubuntu on the CD drive. If you meant, install Ubuntu without removing your Windows operating system? Then you need to set up a dual-boot between Windows and Ubuntu. Search the internet for fuller instructions on creating a dual-boot. If you simply want to try using Ubuntu without making any changes to the OS already on the hard-drive, either use the CD containing Ubuntu as an ISO file, known as a Live CD. Or, look up WUBI on the internet. Wubi will allow you to download and use Ubuntu as you would any other Windows file - without making any changes to the hard-drive.
you need a dvd compatible disc not a cd
The DVD or CD Drive must be Compatible as well as the DVD or CD.
You can remove the partition safely using a tool such as a gparted live cd. You need to burn the image to a CD-rom, boot from that, and remove the partition Ubuntu is installed to. Note: If you installed GRUB to the Master Boot Record of your hard disk, removing the Ubuntu partition could cause booting complications. These should be fixed upon reinstallation of Ubuntu.
you probably have a CD+-R and a DVD-Rom, which I have. Took me a long time to realize that DVD=ROM doesn't burn anything. It only reads You need a CD+-R and DVD+-R/RW to burn.
You cannot play a DVD in a CD-ROM drive, you need a DVD compatible drive in order to play a DVD.
a DVD
