The way that I read the installation guide for wubi, and the description, sounded like you could install it onto an existing partition without fear of overwriting your existing windows installation. I took my first trip into the world of linux yesterday, using Puppy Linux loaded onto a usb stick to try and fix a friends laptop, and I loved the interface and how well it ran on such terrible hardware. Now, I want to try more distro's of linux, and I was thinking Ubuntu would be a good start. However, I have no active CD-Rom/DVD drive, as mine died a few years ago, and Wubi sounds like a god-send at the moment. I was just wanting to make sure that using it to install Ubuntu would allow me to keep my existing windows installation, and then they would share a partition. Thanks,

P.S. Sorry if this is already a topic somewhere on the forum, I attempted a search but I don't have much time left before I have to leave school to head home and actually attempt the installation. If the thread exists, please just point me to a link and the mods can lock/delete this thread as needed. Apologizing in advance.
