A linux instalation must be done in a separate partition, it uses a diferent filesystem. Linux isn´t really a win32 aplication, you know
There is something like you described: it´s called winlinux 2000, but I can´t really give u a link... do a search...

That is not the only one, there is corel Linux, PhatLinux, if you go to any linux download website they will list lots of versions that are able to be installed and ran on a linux partition, a semi complete list can be found here: www.canadacomputes.com/cc/section/pub/story/1,1101,2678,00.html
hope it helps
well, bye

I really don't recommend installing Linux on a windows partition. I don't know if Windows will handle it okay. I would use Partition Magic, or something else, and make separate partitions.
