I have windows xp preinstalled on my dell laptop in disc ‘c’,I have enough space on my disc ‘d’ and want to install linux there,so how can I do it? Do I need to partition? Is it automatically gonna be installed there (on disc ‘d’) when I boot with Ubuntu live cd? Am I going to lose my data and files on disc ‘c’ and ‘e’ if I install ubuntu this way?
Thanx lots.

My harddisk has a bad sector and I burned Gnome linuxliveOS cd. It hangs on the bootscreen and won’t boot at all? Puppy linux won’t boot at all. Is there any live cd that I can boot with a corrupt harddrive disk? Can I boot anything without a harddisk? thanks.
Computer is Dell C600 no installation cds and already tried recovery cd,
I already have the ultimate boot cd but I have not run disk check before. Which task under the disk options repairs the bad sector? My windows installation is on the D:/ partition ( it moved from C:/)

I have an old laptop, it has no cds with it besides a “boot directory” floppy disk. When I turn on the laptop to boot from whatever is on that floppy, it say “loading windows 95″ then it says “no operating system found”. So I’m guessing I better try a different OS on the old lappy. So, I want to install linux, not just a live run version, full install, but 1.) What version of Linux would install onto the computer and 2.) How would I partition my hard drive if I can’t get into windows? All I’m at when i turn on the computer is the bios settings. BTW, only reason I’m doing this is to win a bet with a friend. I wouldn’t trade my Dell XPS for anything.
