Set your (primary) CD drive to boot (in the BIOS) and boot the CD. Linux 
doesn't run under MS-Windows, it _replaces_ it. Under Linux there is 
effectively no spyware. What version of Linux does the CD say it 
carries?

You'd probably benefit from a little community input at this stage, but 
unfortunately the next such get-together (at UWA in Nedlands) is not 
until 26 September. Can you wait that long?

Cheers; Leon
