When you download Ubuntu, you receive it as an ISO. Therefore, it must be burned using an application like Nero, or if you don't want to buy Nero, you can use Infrarecorder, which is free. Once you burn it off, you have two choices: either to install under windows, or install separately. If you are still a windows user, and have been, do option one, and insert the CD into drive WHILE windows is running. Otherwise, keep the CD in the drive, and reboot.

Is there a way to install Ubuntu on only one account of a computer running Windows Vista?

Ubuntu is a whole operating system, not a simple program. It does not run on top of Windows, but instead of it. Thus user accounts on Vista do not come into play. Ubuntu supports its own user accounts, so once it is installed, no one except the person who installed it can use it unless an account is created for them.

How to install Ubuntu and Windows on the Same Hard Drive?

Windows has held the top spot in the operating system battle for quite some time. Ubuntu Linux is quickly gaining popularity among computer users due to the flexibility of the system. If you are a Windows user who would like to make the switch to an open source platform, you should consider Ubuntu. If you are unsure that you will like the new system or that you won’t be able to use your favorite Windows programs any longer, there is a way to install both operating systems on your hard drive. This process will be outlined in the following guide.The first thing you must do is download the Ubuntu ISO file from the website. Once the file is downloaded, you will need to burn the ISO image onto a disc. There are many free image burning software packages available online. You will then need to reboot your computer from your newly burned installation disc. When the splash screen appears, select the "Install Ubuntu" option. Follow the instructions on the screen until you get to the partition manager. At this point, you may choose the default option, in which Ubuntu will automatically resize your Windows partition to free up enough space to install Ubuntu. If you would like to manually specify the size and location of the partition, you may do so. If you choose this option, remember to designate SWAP space as well. SWAP space is used when the system requires more memory than you have in RAM. When you are finished with partitioning, proceed with the installation process by following the instructions on the screen.When the installation is finished, the computer will reboot and you will need to remove your installation disc. Before you see your desktop, GRUB bootloader will display. This menu displays for 10 seconds by default and allows you to choose which operating system you would like to use. Since Windows does not recognize Ubuntu, if you install Windows after Ubuntu you will need to boot from your Ubuntu installation disc and update GRUB in the terminal to be able to access both operating systems.
