I recently got back my computer from a hard drive breakdown. I got back the computer with everything except an operating system. I was hoping to be able to download Ubuntu to at least have an operating system, but after burning Ubuntu to a DVD, my computer will not recognize an operating system on the DVD. What do I need to do differently/add to the DVD to make things work?

If you are simply placing the .ISO file onto the disc the computer will not recognize it as bootable and you must therefore use a program like imgburn to "write image file to disk" which will then extract the contents to the disc rather than place the ISO on the disc. Then you can resume as usual and boot to the disc.

I'd go with what both devs suggested, reburn the iso as a filesystem, simple as using imgburn and set your BIOS settings so your DVD/CD drive is the first that boots up.
