I'm the new to Ubuntu. Recently, I downloaded the ISO image (32-bit). I have a laptop in which Windows 7 is pre-installed and now I want to install Ubuntu alongside Windows 7. I have burned a DVD for it but I don't know how to install it.

    You need to boot off of the DVD, keep in mind there are a TON of good articles on installing ubuntu, and this question gets asked a lot. Be sure to look around google and AskUbuntu before asking duplicate questions :) – Jbuch14 Jul 31 '14 at 12:59
  • See also **[these DVD burning instructions](http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/burn-a-dvd-on-windows)** (of all these resources, that might be what helps you most, I think). Or, for Nero, [this forum topic](http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=111589) or [this blog post](http://dwmallisk.blogspot.com/2010/01/how-to-burn-iso-disk-image-through-nero.html). – Eliah Kagan Jul 31 '14 at 19:34

Boot from the DVD and elect to install right away or "try Ubuntu" which gives you a live session that you can also launch the installer from.

During the install, Ubuntu will detect your Windows installation and ask you what you'd like to do about it, with a popular option being to install Ubuntu alongside Windows by having Ubuntu resize your Windows partition to make space for Ubuntu to install to.

  • Make sure you are not burning the ISO file itself to the disc. Use Nero's "write ISO image to disc" function. – Jeff Sereno Aug 01 '14 at 14:50
