Alright, I want to install ubuntu 10.0 and I want to know how.
I've got a second hard drive with 80 GBs(internal), (My current has 51(internal)) I've tried pendrive linux and then installing from that but that didn't work. I need a way to install it to a second hard drive completely. (No live CD either, I don't have a working CD drive.

Pretty sure in windows you could mount the image in daemon and install from there if I remember correctly.
Well I'm stupid, I'll report back and see if it works completely.
Installing using a USB stick should work. You can also use Wubi, I don't recommend this tho. Wubi installations tend to give very unstable and unreliable systems.
Get a CD drive or install with a USB stick.
Retry the USB stick. Format it to FAT32 and put the files on it with Unetbootin.

Just remember you can't use it for storage anymore. I let a gave a friend my 2 gig usb with Ubunutu LiveCD on it. He ended up breaking my usb and his usb port on his computer trying to get it to work.

Pretty sure you can use it still as storage, just not so much.
Couldn't you just format it?...

How the fuck? Your friend did something terribly wrong.
All unetbootin does is put the files on a stick, install syslinux to it and do other minor tasks, you can't fuck up a USB port with unetbootin unless the USB port is up your ass and you're trying to insert the USB-stick there.
And you can just either format the USB-stick or remove all the files and the hidden syslinux folder and everything's back to normal.
Can't you mount the CD in Daemon or PowerIso etc. and just run the setup.exe (or ubuntu equivalent)?

Do you even know what Linux is?
Wubi.
Never do Wubi, ever. Unetbootin is the way to do it.
