Hi

Download Wubi from http://www.wubi-installer.org/devel/minefield/Wubi-7.10-alpha-rev386.exe

then enter your ubuntu CD and run the exe file. Wubi will not damage any of your data. You can uninstall ubuntu from Add/Remove programs in windows. You just need a fat32/ntfs partition with 10GB free space.

Best of luck with your installation.

Abhinav
