You can install Ubuntu 9.04 within windows using Wubi installer
http://wubi-installer.org/
You keep Windows as it is, Wubi only adds an extra option to boot into Ubuntu. Wubi does not require you to modify the partitions of your PC, or to use a different bootloader, and does not install special drivers. It works just like any other application.
Wubi keeps most of the files in one folder, and if you do not like it, you can simply uninstall it as any other application.

Download the iso file burn it to a CD then put it in the drive and reboot. You can dual boot if you want. You can wipe Vista and just have the linux OS.
The best and SAFEST way is to partition your drive and load Ubuntu into the partition. You may not like Ubuntu and want to switch back. I can tell you Ubuntu is a whole different world and can be difficult to use. Good Luck
It’s not worth it at all but if you like it…
Boot from the ubuntu cd and destroy your Vista install that’s 10 times better. You can format the drive with the ubuntu cd. LOL
