You need to create a blank partition on your hard drive. You can use a program like Partition Magic to do that without damaging your Windows installation.

It is an easy step-by-step process to install Kubuntu under Windows. Insert the CD in your CD-ROM player. The window will pop-up - see image on the left. (Click for a larger view.)

You have a choice here to either install Kubuntu on the hard drive alone or keep your Windows installation and install Kubuntu next to Windows. For this article, I'll assume you want to install Kubuntu next to Windows. Select option two: Install Inside Windows.

This will bring up another window where you can select the hard drive you want to install Kubuntu on. Also, you can choose the amount of space you want to allocate to the Kubuntu installation. On the right, you have the option to select a different language. Also, it asks you to input a user name and password for the Kubuntu installation.

It will now copy files from the CD to the hard drive. After it's done, you will be asked to reboot.

After the reboot, you'll see that you now have the option to either choose Kubuntu or Windows XP/Vista. Choose Kubuntu here. It will start up with a Ubiquity window. It will now install and re-partition the hard drive and give the previously decided space to Kubuntu. After partitioning, it will copy the files to the new partition. All of this is done automatically and takes about 25 mins. Reboot and select Kubuntu again.

hi,
Just get the ubuntu live CD, ie; you run ubuntu from a CD not your hard drive.
