My son has managed to accidently format his hard drive and has no Windows recovery disc but has a disc with Linux Ubuntu on it. He's tried to boot up from the Linux disc but can't, is there any way to install Linux without Windows.

Thanks I'm presently downloading Ubuntu and will send it to him, he's in Leeds and I'm in Preston which doesn't help really.

Oh I should add that I'm a complete cretin when it comes to computers but Josh is obviously worse 😀
