The importaint bit starts with the second para :)


I am running Kubuntu on one side of my hardrive and windows 7 on the other however the 'lovely man' my mother desided to hire to set up our Wireless really screwd up. he managed to get the password he gave me and that which he typed in mixed up!
So my friend much more gifted with computers than me sent me to download backtrack (it might also help at my fathers, who doesent have a wireless ;) )

Cuting this way to long story short, i am hoping one of you amazing peeps can tell me how to run backtrack and kunbuntu on the same side of the harddrive??!!

Thanks :)

1.Make 2 separate partitions for the 2 distro.

2.Install Backtrack Linux (http://www.backtrack-linux.org/) first and then Kubuntu(boot order with GRUB2)on their respective partition.

But can they exist on the same partition?

I guess that's what the OP wants to do:
