Solve : Ubuntu LINUX, booting from CD?

1.	Solve : Ubuntu LINUX, booting from CD?
Answer» I have downloaded the latest version of Ubuntu LINUX and GOING to burn it to a disk. I have got the steps and all ready for BOOTING into LINUX, please check if anything is going wrong: SET BIOS so that it boots the disk first. After saving the SETTINGS, PC will reboot. Insert the disk just after the PC has rebooted. Now the question is how to shut down the LINUX and while booting back or that, will I get chance to enter the BIOS menu to set the HDD as the boot device.You will continue to get whatever info your computer currently provides, in the sense that, unless you're getting a "splash screen" with a brand that "covers" what the computer is doing while it boots up, you should still see a brief display of the video card TYPE and video RAM, followed by the Power On Self Test, at which time you can enter BIOS, and make system changes before the computer actually boots the operating system which it's going to run.Thanks for help. So, it is - insert the disk before the info is shown, ain't it? Secondly, does LINUX have a decent 'Shut Down' option (like Windows)? And: How to get back to Windows after having done with LINUX?Yes, Ubuntu has good shutdown options, like Windows. You might try to run Ubuntu Live! from the CD. It will run slower, because it has to access the CD for everything, but you can try it before you actually install it. Are you planning on installing Ubuntu "over" your Windows installation? Are you going to try to install it on an empty partition on your current drive?No I want to have windows until I'm very fine with it and even after that. Somebody on the chat, don't remember who it was said that Ubuntu will ruin the Master Boot Record of windows if I try to install on a partition. Do we get to enter the BIOS menu at LINUX boot? And are the steps for Live CD Boot correct?
