Two words. Virtual Box. Free for personal and EDUCATIONAL use...

No resizing reformatting anything, unless you absolutely must have it
on the local hard drive. However when you do this kind of thing you're
still doing the ENTIRE install because you attach the hardware CDROM
to the disc OR you can attach the virtual CDROM to the disc IMAGE and
boot that way and run the entire install procedure just like you had
it at the command line, PLUS you can surf while it loads !!

The box said 'Requires Windows XP or better'. So I installed LINUX
