Hello.After quite sometimes using 'Vista' as OS on my PC,recently I decided to swap to Ubuntu 9.04 (the latest stable version).I've downloaded the iso. folder of Ubuntu (desktop-i386) from their official site,since it was the suitable version for my PC.I've burned it to a CD-R accordingly to the instruction on the site (Ubuntu.com) using Infra Recorder as the burn software.Assuming I've done right all the procedure required,I inserted the CD-R in my drive (HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GH20NS10 ATA Device - the only CD drive in my PC) and reboot it. When the message 'boot from CD' appeared,I tabbed the 'Enter' key. Despite Ubuntu 9.04 setup windows that I expected appeared,it was the 'Vista' start menu.I retried several times then,but get the same result.I suspected maybe it was the BIOS configuration,as I've looked for the problem into the Ubuntu documentation.And with a limited knowledge on what I should do, I dare myself to go to the BIOS configuration window (Phoenix - AwardBIOS V6.00PG) on my PC,looking for the 'BIOS sequence' setting.Oddly,the default setting was at CD-ROM as the first/ priority boot sequence for my PC.I wonder,what is the problem that I'm facing right now.Hope there will be someone in the forum, willing to help me solving the problem,please.I'm really in the dead end now and still determine to be the next Ubuntu 9.04 user.
