8.04 with Vista Home Premium

Newer HP laptops come pre-installed with either windows xp or windows vista. by default, the hard drive will contain two partitions - one for the OS installation and the other for the OS recovery files. installing if u have a version of "partition magic" that is compatible with windows vista, you can adjust the size of the OS installation partition. then restart your pc for the changes to take effect. you can then install ubuntu.
alternatively, u can burn your pc recovery files to onto a cd/dvd. once done you are free to delete all partitions and create your own custom partition sizes for windows and ubuntu.
cheers

Is it possible for grub to boot to another grub (or lilo, if necessary)? I want to be able to sort in a manner like a dichotominous key that you dont see everything at once. I know it seems crazy that i did this (i have been using linux siNce 2005) but i did. Can someone help me?
