Hi jglen490, thanks for your help. I bought the Lenovo from a second-hand computer dealer. It has (more or less) only the Windows 10 installed, not much else. So the burning program was that one that is preinstalled in Windows 10. I also tried imgburner, but with the same result. :( The...

OK, finally I give up. ;) Maybe I will have to ask somebody professional. But I downloaded the files from the official website from 3 different distributors (2 of them are universities) I burned 4 DVDs (using different programs), and whenever the computer wants to start from one of those DVDs...

No, I want to leave the Macs completely, as they are more and more unrepairable. Therefore I bought an old Lenovo to install Linux on that machine. Then I want to try, whether I can work with Linux or not. So all I am asking in in connection with the Lenovo.

OK, As far as I can see, the problem is windows 10 and the extraction-method. (Sorry, I am MacUser) In order to avoid that problem, I might download it again, do as described in the link (uncheck the .iso extraction) and then it might work. Let's see. ;) I will report. Thanks for the lnk! Raphael

Thanks for the posting. But I already have created a bootable USB. (I tried several possibilities I read about. Maybe I should try also one using "Rufus" as you recommend in your link.) My problem is rather that the computer is not willing to start from anything else than from the built-in...

Yes, that is right. ;) sorry. Nevertheless: Booting from a USB-stick is rather recommended for newer machines?

It is a Lenovo ThinkCentre M58p Tower PC Computer - Intel Core 2 Duo-E7500 2x 2,93 GHz Thank you! Raphael

Thank you f33dn3bits. but I want to quit the mac, cause it becomes more and more unrepairable. Therefore I bout a windows machine 8the Lenovo) for doing some tests, if I can work on Linux. (I am a designer.) So using MacOS will not be a grat help i suppose.

Hi, I am very very new to Linux after working my entire life with apple. But I want to try Linux and eventually turn over to it. In order to do so, I bought an older computer (Windows 10 is preinstalled) and wanted to install Linux. (Mint/ Cinnamon edition) My problem is now, that (maybe) I...
