[Requiem]

I was wondering if I could install Ubuntu Linux on my other, empty partition with out burning it to a CD? It is even possible?

Hey why don't you want to put it on a cd, but i don't think so i downloaded the Linux installer put it on a cd and it worked, or do you not have a cd writer or just out of interest?

The problem is I don't have a working CD drive. :/ But I've tried a few things and it doesn't seem feasible. Is it?

Hi Requiem. Ubuntu, for example, requires the Live CD, or the actual Ubuntu CD to install onto your hard drive. The only option that I can think of is to download the Linux, or Ubuntu again for an example, directly from Ubuntu. This link explains that you can download Ubuntu; however, it is an .iso file that has to be burned to a CD.

Your only option, at this point, is to find a fully functioning .exe, .rar, or .zip file of one of the Linux Operating Systems and download it. Now, I must note, a file like this could leave you susceptible to viral infections and other malicious applications. Do so at your own risk.

I've already downloaded the .iso of Ubuntu. Note I also have a virtual disk drive, it is possible to install Ubuntu with these conditions.
