If you are going to install Linux on your computer then its best to use Ubuntu, as its free and widely supported by its community.
You can download latest version of Ubuntu from their server and then write it to your CD and then boot it and install it from there. But creating a booting CD is not a good idea if you are using Ubuntu as your secondary OS.
You can make a bootable USB drive and then boot from it to install it.

- Windows Installed,
- Universal USB Installer, Download it from HERE,
- And a ISO Image of Ubuntu on your computer which you going to install,
- A USB with at least of 2 GB space and formatted with Fat system
