I just downloaded Ubuntu 9.04 while using the 8.10 live cd. I was planning to burn it to a disc, but I forgot all about the live cd issue. So is there anyway I can burn Ubuntu 9.04 without having to download it to a real os. Or can I make a bootable usb with the live cd of 8.10.

I have a laptop that I need to update the BIOS but I cant get into Windows. Here is what I want to do.I know I need a DOS boot able disk. I figured I would download the FreeDOS disk and just add a file to the iso and burn the ISO. So far I cannot do that and I don't know how or even if there is a way to do this. So the long of the short of it is I need a bootable cd that is dos based and has my BIOS update file on it.
I am on Ubuntu 9.04. I have a Vista disc which I have slipstreamed some drivers onto. (Basically, you copy them into the "upgrades" or "updates" folder)
I have copied all the files from the Vista disc onto my local Ubuntu drive. I have copied in the new files.
Then, I used Brasero to burn from the local Ubuntu drive to a blank DVD.
So, I checked, and all the files are there.
But when I start up the computer, it does not boot. It boots straight into GRUB, then Ubuntu. Wheras, when I stick in the original Vista disc, it does boot.
How do I get the new disc to boot? It has, surely, exactly the same files as the original....
My karmic ubuntu studio will no longer boot. I believe I may have intermittent hard drive issues. I've backed up all my important files so I'm not extremely worried; however, I would like to try to get my setup bootable once more. I've reinstalled grub, and on trying to boot, I get the grub kernel selection. Regardless of what I choose, the system won't boot. I believe grub is alright, but something else is not. What else could I try to make it boot again? I've mounted the drive, chrooted to it, updated and upgraded, but it still won't boot. I may be doing that wrong, or there may be something else I need to do.

how I can install and make bootable a usb stick. I have tried multiple walkthroughs on this subject and not one of them has worked, i am trying to do this via windows, i cant get any workable wifi drivers for linux i have an atheros wifi card. the closest i have come to getting the usb to work is the splash screen then it freezes and this was with linux live usb creator 2.0 it doesn't matter which ones i've tried i can't get them to work no matter what version i try to use. it's driving me mad.
i want the usb to boot without having a hardrive present in the computer. i just got a possible driver that will work for my wifi card and i will put that on the stick too then install it when i get the usb stick to boot into linux. i honestly dont know why there are so many walkthroughs on this subject that dont work it's silly. oh and besides bookmarking each post i make where is the button that links you to your own posts without having to manually search them out?
how to make an ubuntu live USB that's bootable, without having to install qt? I've looked at the ubuntu guides on the matter but they either seem to be out of date, incomplete, or tell you to use unetbootit that requires qt. It seems silly to have to install hundreds of MB of qt on my tiny eeepc just to make a bootable usb.
is there any program that i can run under ubuntu 10.10 netbook remix and make windows XP installable from a flashdrive via a torrent i downloaded. i need to install windows back on this computer then reinstall linux and dual boot for work.
i have been doing a house clearance and come across an old laptop nothing special but its old running windows 95 i think any way i have used dsl b4 as a bak up incase my pc went dawn haw do i get rid of windows and run dsl on this laptop as it only has a floppy drive and a 2.5 gig hard drive its a relik i know this but instead of throwing it away i thout that putting dsl on it i could make a web browser out of it just for fun is it possable to make a bootable floppy to run the new os on the laptop.
I have a very usefull Floppy Disk, when I boot from it, it boots into a Windows 95 menu, the initial screen has various options including an option to press shift + F5, when this is done it shows the command prompt A:. I have added various utilities to the floppy myself ie- fdisk, format, chkdisk, efdisk, xcopy, an early Norton Ghost, etc, etc. So I can partition a new hard disk, format it, delete partitions, ghost a disk, etc, etc, very handy. But floppies are becoming obsolete. I have tried burning the contents of this floppy to a CD, but I can't boot from this CD. I have tried various bootable CD programs from the net, including Ultimate Boot CD, but none of them work very well. I would like to make a bootable CD that will simply boot any computer with either a --new blank, unpartitioned, unformatted Hard Disk -- a hard disk with Windows, -- a hard disk with a Linux Distro, etc. When booting from this CD, it will boot to a command prompt, enabling me to start any program that I have added to the CD myself, ie fdisk, format, etc, etc.
