I sent it to you in a message...  noooo:

Once you have downloaded the file (assuming you got the right one) use easy CD Creator (or whatever) to burn the file to a bootable CD image.

Then re-boot your PC and it automatically installs itself and runs from the CD.

Linux is installed and working on my PC. The PC is still crap but I like the look of Linux so far.
I have telephoned my man and told him not to bother calling unless he has nothing better to do that tell me how clever I am.

Well there is a rumour that Dell are selling compuers preloaded with Linux. Or you could always try the common sense approach and ask a young relative.

Its the golden rule, if you cant get soemthing technical to work ask a neice or nephew  eyes:
