[HLUG] Unable to download Ubuntu on my Microsoft Windows XP Professional Version 2002 Service Pack 2 (32 bit)

[Ann]

When I first installed Linux Mint from windows I installed Vuze and 
downloaded the iso. There is a button that will allow you to burn to 
DVD. May I suggest you try Linux Mint - Mate desktop instead of Ubuntu, 
the installation is very straight forward.. if you go to the Linux Mint 
website you will find the download link.
regards
Ann Tether
