Folks,
I'm a noob here, and am trying to set my machine to dual boot ubuntu and unfortunately xp because of quickbooks needed for my business. I've just begun to learn about partitioning, and wanted to be clear here, does this (below) mean I have 2 separate hard drives on this machine?
damon@damon-upstairs:~$ sudo fdisk -l

I'm assuming that I can format the 80 gig one for NTSB to run xp on??
Thanks,
