Check MD5SUM
An MD5SUM is like a fingerprint: two copies of the same file should have the same MD5SUM.
To validate your download,
compute the MD5SUM of your downloaded disk image, then
compare it against the reference MDSUM: 16.04.5 MD5SUM.
If they are not equal, that means your file was corrupted during download. You must download it again.
Create and Boot Installation Media
Burn the image to a DVD or USB drive.
When you boot from the installation media, you will see the option to Check Disc For Errors. Select this option first.
Proceed with installation as prompted.
Try without Installing
You can try Ubuntu GNOME without affecting your current OS installation. Upon booting from the installation media, select the Try Ubuntu GNOME without installing option.
Pro Tip: If your current OS is corrupted and won't boot, you might be able to use the live preview feature to access the hard drive and recover your data!
Older Versions
If you need an old ISO, download it from the archive.
