I am starting from Ubuntu 12.04. I went to Ubuntu.com and downloaded 12.04 and followed their instructions to burn the CD. All of the messages talked about burning the CD. I have in my Downloads folder the file ubuntu-12.04.2-desktop-i386.iso. How do I get that to a CD that will boot?

You need to use burning software to write the iso to the cd file system.

You are trying to boot from a CD or an iso file? An iso file is only "bootable" in a virtual environment.
