How do i install an iso game on ubuntu?

Q. Im new to ubuntu and i wanna know if i can play this game on this thing. I downloaded Morrowind off a torrent. Its an iso file. Now how do i install it onto my computer? And im not good with computers so if you can dumb it down a bit for me that would be great.

A. All you have to do is double click the iso and it will mount. Linux/Mac have iso tools already built in.

I have XP. If I dual boot with Linux and install Wine, will I have to reinstall my programs?
Q. I've already installed programs under Windows XP. If I want to be able to use them with Linux, will I have to install them a second time for use with Wine?

A. One thing you can do is create a seperate install partition in NTFS format and install all your games to that partition. Then you can set your WINEPREFIX to use that partition (mount it somewhere like /media/Win_Share or /media/Win_Progs or /media/Program_Files or whatever you decide on.)

This way you can run the programs you installed in windows from wine. Do not expect everything to work, but I have had some success doing this in the past, although it is definitely not my preferred way to use wine (only because so few of my games actually WORK in wine.)

Any way to install XP onto a flashdrive to boot just when I want to play games on my Linux laptop?
Q. I have a laptop that runs Ubuntu, but I want to be able to boot Windows XP off a flash drive to play small games (like Halo CE). I have found several LiveXP systems for USB but they are based off BartPE and offer limited hardware support. Is there a way to boot a full Xp with drivers ff a flash drive to play games?

A. Windows will not install on anything but hard drives on M/board
you could try a program like VM Ware with it you can run other operating systems on it do a search for it and check if it is what you want
