Re: installing ubuntu without killing windows in the process?
If you already have Windows installed and you don't want to lose it after installing Ubuntu, I suggest you to install Ubuntu using Wubi. Wubi is an official utility that installs Ubuntu in the partition you select and adds an Ubuntu option to the Windows Boot Manager, which means that Ubuntu will appear on the operating systems list that you can access in the Boot tab of msconfig, the Start and recobery on Advanced tab of System Properties or by using the command line utility BCDedit.
Furthermore, it allows you to uninstall Ubuntu using Programs and Features, and eases access from Ubuntu to Windows partitions a lot, since there is no need of using the Terminal nor modifying configuration files to mount those partitions.
Wubi is included on Ubuntu ISO images and is the file for auto-run on Windows when you insert the CD or mount the image, but you can also get Wubi separately and it will download the 32 or 64-bit ISO depending on yo ur processor architecture or the arguments passed through the command line.
I hope it helps.
