Is there a way to create a single or multi cd Ubuntu 14.04 32 bit install disk from Windows 7 instead of a dvd or usb? I have an older Dell pentium4 machine w/ no dvd and it can't boot to usb. Currently running Debian (classic), but I would like to try Ubuntu. I'm a novice to Linux.

You can use the minimal installation CD. This is an Ubuntu installer CD image that is small enough to fit on a regular CD.
It uses a text-based installer similar to Debian's installation CDs, and it fetches most of the packages over the internet which is why the installer CD image can be so small.

Normally I wouldn't recommend it to a novice, only because it's slightly less user friendly than the regular installer, but if you managed to get Debian installed, then you should be able to achieve this.
