Do I really have to create a boot disc? I downloaded Ubuntu. unpacked the 7zip file and installed. Then it said I must restart for the installation to complete. When I restarted it showed an error. Is this because I didn't create a boot disc? I'm not technical but I would really like to use Ubuntu for safety. I'm finding it very hard to create a boot disc. I guess I'm too stupid. I don't know how to change the boot area. Can't one just install and let it run?

I'm not aware of ubuntu being available as a 7-zip file. Where did you find this download (it may be malicious). You should download from ubuntu.com and the file type should be ISO. You will need to burn this ISO to a DVD or use unetbootin or similar to put it onto a bootable USB device. Boot from either the DVD or ISO and you will be presented with an option to install Ubuntu. After Ubuntu is installed you won't need to boot from the DVD/USB anymore.
