Help Please

[Catalin David]

Hello!

Well, in Hardy -- 8.04, you have the possibility to install from 
Windows, as far as I remember. It will install Linux, but I am not sure 
about the whole process or how it works.

Try working on
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootFromCD
or this
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwitchingToUbuntu/FromWindows

Hope this will help,
Catalin
