HELPme guys!
Hi, i'm a newbie in this forum and ubuntu OS=)
here's my case:
i got my ubuntu from http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download
Using my hpdv6670ee laptop-I was able to install ubuntu 8.1 last night using live CD.. and honestly, it looks nice and feels really light..i can hear the OS breathin' well hehe=).
HOWEVER, the bad thing is- it formatted my XP partition! I didn't expect it to happen because during the partitioning stage-i precisely assigned Ubuntu to use 25 GB out of my 145GB drive.. its very clear- i used the partitioning "slider" (i dont know what's the term).. and then i continued..
but in the end, it made my xp drive its page file or simply an empty file drive!
what did i missed? my goal is to have a dual boot.. xp and ubuntu 8.10. Im really interested in installing Ubuntu..but i need to keep my XP because of my work related programs such as autocad, 3d max and adobe photoshop, illustrator etc.
I appreciate your help. thanks!
