Hi There.
I am running Ubunto 9.10 from an external 20GB USB mounted disk on my HP6220 laptop.
I have now installed a lager internal harddisk (from 60GB to 320GB). At the same time, I have expanded the WinXP partition from 60GB to 80GB.
Then I have made a second primary partition on 20GB - and installed a ghost (using Clonezilla) from the 20GB external Ubunto disk.
The Last 210 GB is for data files.
The Question is:
Can I make my 20GB partition bootable - either by Ubunto's dual bootmanager function, og by an external bootmanager?
Or: If I have to install all-over Ubunto from my CD - how do I make sure that it will have the 20GB partition as target, and not destroying my WinXP. - An how do I make it Dualboot?
The reason I want to use the ghost from my external disk is, that I fixed som problems with the GRUB interface, and loudspeakers - problems related to my laptop hardware. If I could - I would like to awoid making theese changes all over again.
best regards

Btw: After my to fixes (solutions found on this forum) my Ubunto 9.10 runs great from my external USB disk on my HP NC6220.
