I was trying to replace Zorin OS 8 with ubuntu 14.04 (32 bits).

What I have tried:

I took an empty pen drive and downloaded Ubuntu 14.04 iso file on to this pen drive.
I then restarted my laptop (Lenovo N 3000) and pressed F12
I then selected the USB drive in the boot options. After sometime I got the Zorin flash screen again.

I know I am "fundamentally" wrong in the manner how I am executing this installation process. If you could please provide me a stepwise instruction.
