cd-imageiso
I've downloaded ubuntu-12.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso via Chrome. Once that was done, I wanted to burn it onto a CD but I can't find the .iso file.
When I opened the Downloads folder, the .iso extension is not there anymore, and it opens with WinRAR for unzipping. I tried unzipping and searching for any ISO files but no luck.
I'm trying to add Ubuntu onto VirtualBox on Windows 7 host OS. Please help.
It's easy to create ISO in terminal as described in other answers but there are some GUI options too, Like Brasero. If you don't already have it, you can install it using:
sudo apt install brasero
How can I create ISO images with Brasero?
Hit the Super key (Windows key) and search for "brasero" and open it.
Click on the Data project button.
Click on the green plus button in the upper left corner in the toolbar to start adding files and directories to your image:
If you want to burn that image to disc, Just right click on ISO image you just created and select "Open With Brasero Disc Burner". Select your optical drive and click Create Image.

If you don't have ISO files associated with an application, such as power ISO or other, most of the time the system will see it as a zip file. You can use ImgBurn, to burn the ISO to disk, or Virtual CloneDrive to mount the ISO.
Lets explain with an example.
You probably have the .ISO extension associated with WinRAR when it was installed. the simplest way to get it burned onto a CD is to get Free ISO Burner. That will burn the file for you. When you open the program after you install it, just click on open, browse to the file location (ubuntu-12.04.1-desktop-amd64), and then click on burn
Once that is done, make sure that you change the boot order, so you can boot from CD.
