How I did it: I downloaded the iso image from the Ubuntu website, then burned the image to disc. I started up my old laptop and put the disc in, then I wiped the hard drive, which had XP before. I did a memory check and after 10 hours of checking it still didn't have any problems, so I went ahead and installed Linux and managed to salvage the laptop.
