    Installing Kubuntu on Acer Aspire X

    I have an Acer Aspire X and I want to install 14.04 on it.

    The system will not see the 14.04 DVD, I set the boot to DVD 1st boot no luck
    went to windows 8 on the HD. Changed the HD and still the same problem,
    How do I install 14.04 on this computer, what settings do I ned to change??

    Thanks in Advance Richard

    Have you tried a usb stick instead of a dvd? Have you checked the md5sum of the dvd?

        I did a burn on my computer and I have used it to install 14.04 on 7 computers so far, it is good, no problems with it.
        I do not have a bootable USB, so may have to buy one if that is what it takes, but I want to boot from the DVD help

          Can you 'see' the DVD from Dolphin when it is inserted? Does the device notifier pop-up?
          Windows no longer obstructs my view.
          Using Kubuntu Linux since March 23, 2007.

            Yes, windoze sees the DVD but will not boot from it, tried a different HD, still the same, tried to change the CMOS but no help there, any other ideas??

              Does your bios have an option to boot from a specific device ... like hitting F12 to throw up a menu of attached bootable devices?

                The "fast start" feature in Windows 8 might be the culprit. If you don't know how to disable that, a quick Google search will help.
