I have LG laptop with windows7. How can I install Ubuntu12 safely without damage the windows version.
if you want to use that way make backup to your system first
yes, can be
it can be done in two different ways
1. allow the ubuntu installer DVD/CD to find a free space in the disk and install. Further it will install a bootloader for booting both windows and linux. it gives a menu to select OS in the Power ON
2. use Virtualization tool such as VmWare Player or VmWare Workstation or Oracle VirtualBOX.
Select one method depends on your need

You can download WUBI tool from Ubuntu site and choose the drive that you want to install the Ubuntu on it and start it , by this way you can dual boot with windows7 without damaing or resizing or managing partitions , and if you want to remove it just go to CONTROL PANEL then ADD REMOVE PROGRAMS and Uninstall it as any program and it will also removed without damaging data .
You can use virtualized systems
Operating within the Windows environment
For example
VMWare, Virtual Box
