Just today a book fell on my laptop and now when i turn it on it tells me that the internal hard drive disk cannot be found. i contected dell and they referred me to a professional compay but they estimated about 500-1700 for recovery. i was wondering if anyone knew of a method that might work without sending it to the professionals? someone i know mentioned a linux live cd. what is that and what would that do? thanks

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.
