Do you mean, install Ubuntu and not enter the BIOS? To install Ubuntu using a CD, you need to enter the BIOS, setting the CD drive as the first boot. Otherwise, the computer will still boot off the hard-drive and ignore Ubuntu on the CD drive. If you meant, install Ubuntu without removing your Windows operating system? Then you need to set up a dual-boot between Windows and Ubuntu. Search the internet for fuller instructions on creating a dual-boot. If you simply want to try using Ubuntu without making any changes to the OS already on the hard-drive, either use the CD containing Ubuntu as an ISO file, known as a Live CD. Or, look up WUBI on the internet. Wubi will allow you to download and use Ubuntu as you would any other Windows file - without making any changes to the hard-drive.
