can that be done without Grub on a primary boot partition or the user accessing BIOS?
I was assuming you’d just write GRUB onto the primary disk and set Hannah Montana Linux (lol, excellent choice of distro!) as the only boot option (because who needs os-prober and a selection timeout when you’ve got the best of distros on disk, amirite?).
I suppose the most problematic part is the partitioning you handwaved as “ok”. Afair, Windows does not allow for live-resizing of the system partition (as it should). But I suppose there are ways around that, particularly if you’ve got another drive or spare partition of adequate size. (OEM recovery partitions come to mind; as much as 10 GB can be enough for a viable Linux system partition.)
Oh, your are right, I always resized partitions with Knoppix or (something with) GParted (Live).
Perhaps there is a way to use Windows partition without any reformat, reboot into the same partition but in Linux, finish installing the rest of the packages & clean up Windows file.
(only creatures of culture recognise one another!)
I mean … if I’m unlucky & live the average (current) life expectancy I’ll see it burn anyway, so why not add some piazzas to it, a twirl here and there, a little bit of comedic chaos to spice up the doom & gloom?

Using them old OEM partitions is a neat idea too.
I’ll open a ticket with Mozilla.
Hannah Montana, Knoppix… a man of culture I see…
…who wants to see the world burn!
