Installing Ubuntu with WinXP

[Chris Hallsworth]

Hi, if you want to install Ubuntu inside Windows, then if you look in the 
package there'll be a file called Wubi.exe. Just run that and follow the 
instructions. This creates a virtual disk which Ubuntu recognizes as 
bootable, and creates a boot menu so you can start either Windows or Ubuntu 
without any partitioning whatsoever. Hope that helps.

Subject: Installing Ubuntu with WinXP


      Hello,



      I'm planning to install Ubuntu on my laptop, which already has WinXP 
Professional installed on it. The complete hard disk [80GB] is single 
partitioned.



      So I have some questions on installing Ubuntu.

      1. If I use a partitioning software to partition my hard disk, what 
file system should I specify for Ubuntu?

      2. Is it possible to load Ubuntu with WinXP in the first place?



      Hope someone can help me with these.



      Thanking in advance.
