I downloaded the Ubuntu 12.04 Desktop iso and I'm trying to burn it to a disc to install onto a Windows Vista Laptop but it keeps giving me an error saying that It couldn't be burned properly because there are "no mountable file systems"

Anybody know what to do to fix this issue?

@izx I think this is actually a burning problem rather than (as in that question) a mounting problem. The fundamental issue may be the same but this is a question of how to burn it and that is a question of why it will not mount. – Eliah Kagan Jul 14 '12 at 0:29
@EliahKagan: agreed, changed title to be more accurate. – izx Jul 14 '12 at 0:41

The easiest way to burn an ISO, the file you need to install Ubuntu from a CD, is by using Disk Utility. If you’re using an older version of Mac OS X, you might not have the Disk Utility application. In this case, use Disk Copy.

  • Launch 'Disk Utility' (Applications → Utilities → Disk Utility).
  • Insert your blank CD/DVD.
  • Drag and drop your .iso file to the left pane in Disk Utility. Now both the blank disc and the .iso should be listed.
  • Select the .iso file, and click on the 'Burn' button in the toolbar.enter image description here
  • Ensure that the 'Verify burned data' checkbox is ticked (you may need to click on the disclosure triangle to see the checkbox).enter image description here
  • Click 'Burn'. The data will be burned and verified.
