here is my question
currently i have windows xp and alongside with ubuntu 9.04 in my HD. but i am planning to upgrade my xp to windows 7, would it be still availible using that dual booting function after i upgraded to windows 7. the reason i am asking that because i heard a lot of rumors saying that after you upgraded to windows 7 the dual booting function will automatically disable.:confused:

sorry about the poor english....

you'll loose grub,
and your ability to boot ubuntu
but thats not a big deal if you have a lifeCD,

its really only 5 lines in the Command window.

EDIT: actually come to think about it i have no idea what happens if you uprgrade...
but IF it does overwrite the MBR then you're set with the instructions above
