You will need to do this in another PC with a CD/DVD RW drive. The d/loaded file has an ISO extension. You need ImgBurn or Nero or similar to burn this into a blank CD. If you are using ImgBurn, just right click on the said ISO file and select 'Burn with ImgBurn'. Make sure that before you do that there is a blank CD in your drive ready to be written.
With the ISO image burned to CD, use that CD in your laptop. Set your laptop to boot from CD drive. As it boots it will show you a menu... just choose to run Live CD. Observe if the lines still come out.
