have downloaded the Ubuntu .iso file, double-click, roxio opens up to save an image file - but won't save to CD, external hard drive or even internal drive. I don't even need an image file! How do I get past this? I just want Ubuntu in place of XP - and yes, I realize that will wipe the computer.

In order to install Ubuntu you will need to create a dvd from the iso file or make a live-usb stick and boot it.
Steps:
