Try here:
Ubuntu Home Page | Ubuntu (http://www.ubuntu.com/)
Good release of Linux. The bootable disk you create can run standalone without having to erase anything on the disk. If you decide you like it, you can run an installer.

Nevermind... I should read before posting... you HAVE linux...

I do. Partition Magic is your friend. :yahoo:

Install XP, then use XP's disk management to convert to Dynamic Disk, split it in half. Assign the next drive to a letter, mark the partition as active, use FDISK to add a boot log and then reboot, install Linux.

I've done it before, much easier in person than it sounds here.

Have you seen the Mac commercial with PC standing at the podium saying "don't give up on vista"?
