I tried the two commands there at boot: and unfortunately neither were recognised.

At the moment i have this machine i'm typing on that doesnt have a burner and the other thats been knocked offline by a virus.
So, am stuck for downloading another version.

The laptop was envisaged to be my learning tool for Linux and to see what 'all the fuss is about' as well as brighten my day with having no virii as it's on CD !
