Hello guys,

How do I dual-boot Windows 7 and the Latest Ubuntu 10.10?

The www.ubuntu.com has two tutorials that are jsut what you need.

To learn how to convert an ISO file into a CD:

Click This Link and then press [show me how] on #2 (http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download)

To see how to install Ubuntu on your PC with lots of nice pictures:

Click This Link and then press [show me how] on #4 (http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download)

Happy Ubuntu(ing)!

Hi and welcome to the forums newOS10 :-)

The best illustrated dual-boot site can be found here:

You must use manual partitioning when installing Ubuntu 10.10 as it has been known to overwrite Windows if the install alongside option is used.

See here for more about that:
