So, there is no requirement of burning a CD. To start with, you need to specify the installation drive, desktop environment (Ubuntu), user name and password and then click on Install button.
Once you reboot your system, you will see dual boot options coming up including your existing Windows and newly installed Ubuntu. Well, it all happened without formatting your hard-disk as the Wubi utility just got installed inside Windows space.
However, you need to place the ISO ( Desktop Edition) in the same folder where you have wubi.exe and then run the Wubi utility.
Now, you can select the Ubuntu boot option to boot to Ubuntu using the username and password that you set for Wubi.
Wubi is a freeware, comes with a file size of just 1.4MB and runs well in Windows 98, 2000, XP and Windows Vista. I also tried on Windows 7, but it did not work there.
