A. Installing Ubuntu as a dual-boot with Windows without partitioning

You keep Windows as it is, Wubi only adds an extra option to boot into Ubuntu. Wubi does not require you to modify the partitions of your PC, or to use a different bootloader, and does not install special drivers. It works just like any other application.
Wubi keeps most of the files in one folder, and if you do not like it, you can simply uninstall it as any other application.
Boot in to windows insert the Ubuntu 10.04 LiveCD and you will offered the option of installing inside windows which is where the Wubi installer comes in, you will be asked how many gigabytes you wish to allocate to Ubuntu (I recommend 8gb) then you set a password for your installation then click install and thats it.
Once Ubuntu is fully installed upon starting your PC you will be given a choice of which operating system you want to use Windows or Ubuntu

Is it possible to download LINUX on a Windows machine?
Q. I am wondering that downloading LINUX on the Windows machine will cause any problem with my computer and applications that run on Windows or not.
A. YAY! Another one converted!
This has always been a troublesome thing. I'm not going to lie to you. If this is done incorrectly, you can completly delete all windows data and everything that is sacred to you.
I DO NOT want you to try this until someone with more exprience than I comes and checks this for accuracy.
That being said, lets begin.
Your first and very important choice, what version of Linux do you want? For a beginner such as yourself, I suggest a version with a self installer: Xandros or Red Hat Fedora.
Once you visit one of their sites and download their package, burn it onto a DVD or a few CDs.
Before you use this, you need to set aside extra room on your hard drive for Linux. You can do this by getting Ranish Partition Manager at: http://www.ranish.com/part/ and take some space (at least 8 GB) out of your Windows partition. Leave this data in unformated space (no partiton format)
Put this disk into the correct drive, and proceed to make your partitions. The self-installers should be able to select the extra space you made before and utilize it to make Linux.
A new boot loader will be installed and you can select either Linux or Windows (sometimes labled as DOS).
You can change the default Operating System the Boot Loader boots into, but be careful. Run your system in Linux. When you have booted up, open the following file: /etc/grub.conf
When you open this file there will be a text editor which will have one line that reads:
default=0
Depending on what your bootloader recognized Windows as on the list change the 0 to an number 0-4.
e.x. (This is the boot manager)
0.Linux
1.Tools
2.Expert
3.Windows (or DOS)
In that list you would want to select 3. So, change the default to:
default=3
