I have dual boot Ubuntu/windows. I want to kill windows and have one large partition for Ubuntu. I saved the Ubuntu down load to DVD. I had to. Not enough room on my drive. I tried to restart and boot off the DVD. Computer ignored it and took me to the boot menu. What I downloaded is called ubuntu-14.04.0-desktop-amd64.iso. there is a file called iso linux but I haven't extracted anything. Not enough room on my drive. I just want to do a fresh install, getting rid of the Windows partition.

  • When you say "saved .. to DVD", did you burn the image to a DVD or burn the ISO as a file to a DVD? What are the contents of the DVD? – muru Nov 17 '14 at 20:12

Burn the image to disk, then when you boot to DVD drive, just simply follow the instructions to wipe the hard drive and install Ubuntu.

  • I did burn the image to disk. Then I restarted my computer with the DVD in the drive. It went right past that to my dual boot log in screen without launching what was on the DVD – Craig Mouldey Nov 17 '14 at 20:39
