Hey all,
I am back with another install question, this one is very easy. :D
I just wanna make sure.
I just recently bought an M17x Alienware laptop, and I have to 500gb harddrives. I am probably never gonna use up 500gb... thats ridiculous. Let alone two two drives.
I want Ubuntu back! So my question is this...
The one hard drive is C:/ obviously where Windows 7 and everything else is installed. The other hard drive is labeled (when I go to Start My Computer) DATAPART1 (D:). As far as I know there is nothing on this drive. These is a text file titled globdata that has a few lines of text saying Microsoft Visual C++ blah blah stuff like that.
So can I install Ubuntu on this hard drive? Does anyone know if that will screw up anything on my Windows 7 hard drive or what? I love my Laptop and how I have Windows 7 set up on the one hard drive, not to mention all my Steam games are saved on this hard drive. So I don't wanna mess with this, and I just wanna do a nice Ubuntu install on the other hard drive that seems to be unused.
Thanks!
