So I decided to finally download ubuntu, I notice the file is an .iso, does that mean I need to decompress it before burning it to a disk? That can be done with something like winrar, yes? Or does windowsxp already have something to decompress files? What program would you recommend using to burn it and at what write speed? I was thinking of going with cdburnerxp.

**strong text\**I tried infra recorder and cdburnerxp- both aren't working, is it because I'm using windowsxp in safe mode?*\*strong text**
