Hey guys, I have an installation question.
Here is my current setup:
Hard drive 1 : NTFS, Windows XP
Hard drive 2 : ext3, Ubuntu 8.04
I believe Hard drive 2 is dying and want to install ubuntu 8.10 on hard drive 1. What's the best way to go about doing this? Because I still need Grub menu to work as well. I want to take hard drive 2 out as well. Should I format Hard drive 2 and then take it out, before installing 8.10, or should I do the install and partition, and then format and take hard drive 2 out?
Thanks!
