What you need
Ready...Got all??...Get a cuppa and start reading...
1. On Vista...you have to partition your current C: drive...So go to "Start" and right-click on "Computer" and go to "Manage"...If you have to accept UAC (User Account Control) DO!!
2.On the left hand side click "Storage>Disk Management"
3. On the bottom half of the screen right-click on your C: drive and click "Shrink Volume" and wait...
4. Now yer done...Put in the Ubuntu disc and shut the system down.
5. Turn on your computer and load from the disc (If you do not know how to do this you can GTFO (Get the F**k out))
6. Once you have completely destroyed your machine to find out how to run from the CD...load up into Ubuntu and double-click install on the desktop and follow the easy setup options
7. On the partition screen select the option known as "Guided" and follow the rest of the instructions.
8. Reboot and you are DONE!!!
