I downloaded the ISO file of Ubuntu Server 12.04 (both 64 and 32 bit) and I burnt the image to a blank DVD but the installer is not booting (even when I choose DVD-ROM as the first boot device). My motherboard is ASUS, my OS is Ubuntu Desktop.

  • Welcome on Ask Ubuntu, Christian ! Are you installing Ubuntu Server on the same machine as the one which has Ubuntu Desktop ? If yes, you probably had to install Ubuntu Desktop by booting on a CD : try to redo exactly as you did the last time (BIOS configuration, etc).

  • Can you please tell us at what step you are blocked on ubuntu.com/download/help/install-ubuntu-server ? Could you also please edit your question to explain how you had installed Ubuntu Desktop on your computer ?

Maybe the ISO wasn't downloaded or burnt well. Try redoing the process, but this time on a USB key instead of a DVD.

  • Apparently you burnt the CD/USB perfectly well. Remember that is is normal that there are no .exe or autorun files, as those are Windows executables. I'll try to open a new answer when you have edited your question with the info I asked as comments to your question.
