I have downloaded Ubuntu from this site to my Toshiba 64 bit, windows 8 laptop. It's burned onto a dvd, moved from the downloads onto the desktop and is in the 'home-icon' start prompt, but no prompt comes up to start the boot. Do I have to remove Ubuntu from the downloads, desktop and start position, and boot the computer and upload Ubuntu from the DVD?

    Sounds like you burned the iso to the disk as a file not an image. That's just what I see though. Might want to look at this https://askubuntu.com/questions/62518/how-to-burn-or-mount-an-iso-file/126069#126069 – RobotHumans Aug 07 '18 at 23:38

It sounds like you need to reboot the computer and boot into Ubuntu from the DVD. See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCD#Using_your_LiveCD

The Live-DVD will let you try Ubuntu directly from the DVD and will provide an icon with which Ubuntu can be installed on your computer.
