I have burned the .iso file to a DVD. But when I put the DVD in the DVD-ROM drive and reboot nothing happens. I get no options to install. The only thing that I get is a missing boot manager press Ctrl +Alt+Del. What do I need to do to fix this?

This is a clean install on a blank hard drive and older computer?

  • Your system is setup to boot from harddrive rather from CD/DVD
  • Your harddisk does contain a non bootable OS (from the message, i guess it was windows)

Options:

  • Verify that your system is setup for booting from CD/DVD drive. Go into the BIOS settings and check the boot order
  • Verify the DVD (if not applicable to check from within the burning tool, test the disc with another computer it it boots correctly)
  • disconnect any USB harddrives or dongles during installation

  • I am concerned that the image I have is incomplete. What all folders should I be seeing? Mar 30, 2015 at 19:33
  • i cannot list all the items which should be in the root, but if you burn your image it should check it against the MD5 file (be sure to have this one, too) and also should have the option to verify the burned image. If you use Ubuntu, you should have the context menu option 'burn image' or something, which would usually take care of writing the image correctly.
