Hi Elmo<br><br>You can dual boot the pc, no need for another drive. ubuntu can partition the drive outomaticly. jyst make sur there is enough disk space.<br><br>Boot of the disc, and start to install ubuntu, it's very simple 7 steps to be exact.<br>one of the steps is the disc partition, it'll give you a view options the first is to partition disc one into 2 parts, a 50%<br>partition. then wait for it to partition and scan the disc, depending on system recources, it may tak 2 to 5 min. Note if not carefull and only sometimes the partition is not succsessfull there might be data loss, so be carefull about dual booting ubuntu. it doesnt happen often but it does happen<br><br>regards<br>Dominique<br><br>Computer Traders<br>cnr Meade & Albert<br>george 6530<br>tel 044 874 0104<br><hr id="stopSpelling">From: elmo@ne.rr.com<br>To: ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com<br>Subject: Re: Install ubuntu next to Windows?<br>Date: Thu, 11 Dec 2008 19:00:55 -0500<br><br>
