Did I download the right thing? http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop It wants me to install wubi.... should I install it?ccgr wrote:NTFS is your file system, while there is a 64bit version of Windows XP out there it's very rare and I bet you're running the 32bit version. Only 64bit OS's can see all 8GB of your RAM
run memtest and see how much RAM it detects

mmm.... maybe i'm missing something. I downloaded the ubuntu cd but I can't get it to boot from it. I went here to the help page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootFromCD it shows a pic of how the cd should look. I have 2 boot folders in there that is not in the pic.
All I did was unzip in and burn it.

That was the first thing I checked. My windows xp is the 2002 version so your probably right that I can't use 64 bit.ccgr wrote:check your boot order in your bios? are you able to boot off of other cd's?
But the Ubuntu live cd looks like it has some good tools.
