What?

Also, I am moving this to the Linux Form. You will get better responses there.

Do you have another partition on your Hard Drive?

first you need a partition... you can do this under disk manager, or 3rd party software partition magic etc.

second you need a Linux distro... http://distrowatch.com/ i suggest Ubuntu for first time users. I suggest Ubuntu for first time users.

download the ISO, burn it to CD, restart, change boot options in BIOS, boot from CD.

Again if this is your first time then i'd stick to using the LiveCD for a couple of weeks to get used to. If you really want to install it there should be a Live install button on the desktop. follow the instructions in that.

Download virtual PC, the current version (free) allows Linux installs.

VMplayer is easy to use and free. If you download it it might give you the ability to download a linux image at the press of a button. But, I haven't done that before, so I'm not sure.

This might help you:

Also: google vmplayer and windows and see what else you can find. Lots of people have done this with Ubuntu and other linuxen.

you can also go to vmware.com and install linux that way too. I'm taking linux admin classes and that's how my instructor told us to do it I believe it's free.here's a link for you hope this works. when yoiu go there click on products then click on vmware server.

Hello,

i think coLinux will be a good choice for you, there is no need to handle with partitions, its Linux with a special kernel to run as a application inside from Windows.

And, you can use WUBI to install Ubuntu 8.04 under Windows: http://wubi-installer.org/

Best of luck!
