After you have download the ISO image file, verify the integrity of the image by comparing the MD5/SHA1 checksum of the image with the values above. If you do not have tools to calculate the MD5 or SHA1 checksum, you can try eXpress CheckSum Calculator, though there are tons of other checksum calculators or verifiers around that you can easily locate with a simple Google search.

Now you need to burn the ISO image to CD. This is another topic that frequently trips up newbies who are not familiar with their CD recording software, such as Nero or Easy CD Creator. Some of you end up burning the ISO file itself to the CD, or some other weird results.

The easiest way to burn the ISO file to CD is to use a small specialized freeware such as BurnCDCC or Active @ ISO Burner. For further assistance, refer to the tutorials section for help with burning the ISO image to CD with various popular CD recording software. Where possible, experiment with CDRW discs instead of CDR discs so that you can start over if something goes wrong, instead of churning out coasters.

After you have burnt the ISO image to CD, you should see the following structure on the CD if you have done it correctly:

c: \ ubcd-extracted \
antivir \
boot \
pmagic \
ubcd \
autorun.inf
license.txt

To run UBCD, leave the CD in the CDROM drive and reboot your computer. If you have problems booting the CD, you may need to adjust your BIOS settings to boot from the CDROM drive ahead of your hard disk. Some BIOS have the option of choosing the boot device on startup by pressing a function key. Refer to the FAQ for some suggestions.
