Hi guys.. having difficulty installing ubuntu 12.04 on Win 7 pc
downloaded the iso image from ubuntu website and write the image file directly to cd as a bootable one..
changed the primary boot to cd/dvd initially and them inserted the cd...getting a black screen with boot failure enter any key to continue..
when pressing any key getting the same message again and again.
You will have to repair the Grub bootloader and for that you will have to boot from a Ubuntu Live CD. From the Live CD, just open terminal and run the below commands:
After that a window will pop-up, here just use Recommended repair option.Code:sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y boot-repair
boot-repair
is the iso which I have burn from website is different from live cd?? I thought the one I downloaded and burn from ubuntu website is live one..If not how or where do I get LIVE CD for free?Quote:

I have an RHCE Live cd which was provided from redhat and that is booting...can I insert that cd and run these command via that Terminal??
If yes can you reply
The live cd that you have downloaded from the ubuntu website comes in the Iso format which you need to burn as a bootable disc. But depending upon the system that you have, whether its windows 7 32 bit or 64 bit, or other amd or intel machine, you have to download the proper version for same. You can find the ubuntu releases from this website - http://releases.ubuntu.com/12.04/
