Hello,
I am just about to install a new SATA Drive to my PC and already have Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty installed on existing SATA drive.
I am going to install Windows XP onto the new drive. I can see 3 options: 1) Should I just install drive and insert XP disk and then wait for everything to turn out ok. I am assuming Windows will find the Jaunty drive and allow me to set up dual boot to it?
2) Should I disconnect the 'Jaunty' Hard Drive install the new Drive and then install Windows. And follow the advice here
http://ubuntu-georgia.org/installing_ubuntu_and_windows_xp_on_separate_drive s
3) Install Windows on current 'Jaunty' Drive and then reinstall Jaunty on the new drive.
3) is my least favourite - after all I am only putting windows on for the teenagers school needs.......
I would want Ubuntu as the default boot.
Any advice gratefully received before I start lashing this up...... I am a firm newbie for Linux.
Kind Regards,
Paul
