Hi,
I have a vaio vgn sz3xp, which was running windows xp. last week, after a virus, I decided to install ubuntu, and leave a small partition with windows xp.
I installed 7.10 and everything went fine.
The only thing is that I (or ubuntu itself, as I read on some posts) deleted the recovery partition.
I have two dvd's, one for system recovery and one for applications recovery, that I made when I got the laptop with XP installed.
Now my question is: can I run the system recovery disk to reinstall xp on the ntfs partition that I created with QParted when installing ubuntu, or this will make mess, e.g. writing on MBR, etc?
Any other warnings or known problems?
Thanks a lot
