   When you install Ubuntu on your computer you should select the advanced mode. When installing I would suggest that you either have two hard drives or you partition one. When you have sorted that out, and selected advanced mode then there should be an option asking you if you want to install something like ‘GRUB’, this allows you to have many OS’s installed on your computer and you then have the option to pick which one you want on startup. Just make sure when you are installing ubuntu you don’t format the wrong hard drive or partition!

   Hi
   First you cant install operating system inside another operating system, they are seperate so you need to install it same way as vista was installed
   First you need an empty dvd
   burn linux iso image onto the dvd
   boot your computer with that dvd in dvd drive
   and then instalation should start

   one of the problems you might face is that there might not space in your hard drive for linux
   in that case you need to re-partion your hard drive (c) using partitioning tool in vista

   when you successfully install linux you should have a dual boot machine which means that you can choose which OS you want to use when you turn on computer

   Dont forget: Always back up all important information before
   installing – anything can go wrong
