Hi there,
I currently use Win XP pro but I want to shift to Dual booting with Vista and Ubuntu. I've got two 160gb HDD with a total of 5 partitions, I want to know if I have to back-up all the data before I do this Dual-Booting thing, as I've heard that installing Ubuntu will format whole of HDD and also, is it mandatory to create a min 2gb of swap partition (even if I choose the first partitioning option i.e. Guided—Resize SCSI1 (0,0,0)
Partition; Guided—Use Entire Disk) and can I later merge this 2gb with other partition? Any and every help will be useful and my sincere thanks in advance.
