How to Install Ubuntu on Windows?

I'm trying to install Ubuntu 12.4.1 on by desktop but on the same drive on which I have already installed windows using windows installer of Ubuntu. So I want to ensure that it won't harm my existing operating system and the associated files.

Since you said you're using the windows installer (WUBI), you need not worry about your Windows installation. Ubuntu will be installed in a virtual drive (a file with all the ubuntu files in it) and it won't harm your Windows installation.

It is possible, but make sure you have a seperate partition (at least 5GB size https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements ) on this drive. During installation you will format this partition, so backup important data first!

    He said he's using the windows installer which doesn't need to create a separate partition. – To Do Sep 29 '12 at 16:56
