Hi all,

First off, I would like to say sorry if this question I'm about to ask is in the wrong section of the forum. If it is, please forgive me (being a new poster and all).

Question

I know the normal method of installing this would be to burn the image file to a disk and booting it up during the start up process, but is their a way of installing it directly to a separate partition without the need of burning it to a disk?

The reason why I'm asking this is because I'm currently out of DVD-R's and wanting to have an XP/OSx dual boot asap.

If need be, here are some laptop specs (Numbed down to only Graphics and basic system info).
