Quick Question. I have windows 7 64bit on a new machine, HP laptop. I have made my Ubunut 9.10 disk and would like to install it. I have a laptop with a internal 320gb 7200rpm drive and I also have a WD External HD hooked up through a usb port. Can I install Ubuntu to the external drive and partition only it leaving all my computers C drive for Windows 7 and half of the 320 external for backup and for Ubuntu? Will I get an option to install to the second drive or will the install go directly to my C: or drive 1? I also wonder what this will do when booting up when the external drive is not connected? Am I better off to partition about 40 GB's of the C drive where Windows 7 is installed? Please advise as I'm a Ubuntu Rookie...
Thanks for any help.
