Hey Ubuntu dudes and dudettes...

I just installed Windows XP on my Mac, so I now have OS X, Windows Vista, Ubuntu, and Windows XP on this baby. This is awesome :D

For nostalgia purposes. I haven't used XP in years, this should bring back a flood of memories from when I was a teenager.

I already have that on my laptop, but I may do that. All Windows OSs from the past 10 years would be cool...

It's a 1TB number, but actually, I need to buy another one for my movies and music. I have some 200 gigs of music, and close to 500 gigs of movies, its time to get a new one. Perhaps that new 2 TB drive from WD...

I thought that OS X would pretty much destroy your Ubuntu since it uses Grub.

How'd you get it to work exactly?

Seperate Hard drives. I have a small drive with Ubuntu and now Xp on it that I can boot to in targets disk mode.

Mac Pro if you are wondering.
