If the disk there is complete it may have the full installer included. The Core 4 run earlier this year was installed from downloaded iso images burned to disk. But when a friend couldn't get a SATA drive running with XP as a stand alone the second drive was loaned out until the SATA is finally recognised by the XP installer or he simply gets another ide drive to run as the primary. He should have gone with a strictly SATA board from the start. But he refused to go with a PCI-E model board. But Livzz will still need to get familiar with the Linux commands anyway. It's definitely a different animal to work with. One other thing to note here is that Linux has it's own form of fdisk often referred to cfdisk for creating, resizing, and removing partitions.
