I've tried to install the Ubuntu program/OS but I can't make the Ubuntu CD to boot up the computer. Is it because I still use the XP OS ? I use Infra Recorder from XP. Is it a wrong method ? Or is it another flaw ?</DIV> <DIV>Would you be so kind to teach me the steps to make dual OS and making the Boot CD for the UBuntu disc. The Ubuntu OS won't start. There is not any screen to choose which OS I prefer.</DIV> <DIV>I think I can't thank you all enough since I feel so most welcome in this community. It seems the whole community eager to help me to solve my problem. Please do forgive my ignorance in this Ubuntu OS. TQ. I promise you all not to give up in trying this.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Best Regards,</DIV> <DIV>Dibya Hutama</DIV> <DIV style="FONT-FAMILY: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; FONT-SIZE: 12pt"><BR> <DIV style="FONT-FAMILY: times new roman, new york, times, serif; FONT-SIZE: 12pt"><FONT size=2 face=Tahoma> <HR SIZE=1> <B><SPAN style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">From:</SPAN></B> dbclinton <dbclin@gmail.com><BR><B><SPAN style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">To:</SPAN></B> hutama dibya <romolhb@yahoo.com><BR><B><SPAN style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">Sent:</SPAN></B> Sun, March 13, 2011 10:18:08 AM<BR><B><SPAN style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">Subject:</SPAN></B> Re: HOW TO<BR></FONT><BR>On Sat, 2011-03-12 at 19:02 -0800, hutama dibya wrote:<BR>> Thank you very much for your information.
