The following in only for Linux - I have not maintained anything on Windows since about 2002.
To intsall into an existing Linux install from your ISO, copy the ISO image to your existing install as a file. Mount the image at say /mt/cdrom
You may need to modprobe loop and iso9660 first.
You can now run the installer from somewhere in /mnt/cdrom
If the installer wants to do a bare metal install, boot the box into rescue mode and the above steps sholud still work.
You will need to choose your in install options carefully, since you want to install to your HDD, not the rescue system root, which is in RAM.
