Oh well I can't get it to open, it is very frustrating and I know it's my fault. I'm about to google Linux installation tutorial and see what happens. Thank you for helping me.
What you have there is an ISO file. You do not need to open it. What you need is a program like UNetbootin that can take that ISO and put its contents on the USB for you, then the computer can boot off that USB drive.
I know it can be daunting at first, but I hope that doesn't turn you off of Linux. All I can say is that for many people it is worth the effort, and actually the learning process is part of the reward.

I first downloaded linux 17 cinnomin then I downloaded unetting but I cant seem to get it together. Should I have downloaded the unetting file first? Also I just want to switch from XP to linux is this even possible? or am I just wasting my time? I also have an HP laptop that is 18 months old with windows 8 that I would like to change it currently won't boot.
