Hi, I will be installing windows due to the fact that my graphics card is very "special" and won't properly work with Linux. I am a gamer and have a gaming laptop.
I will be installing windows over my current ubuntu install and there will be an attempt at not deleting all the saved files :popcorn:. Afterwards I would like to recover it but a guide I found on google for doing so assumes I get the results it says I should have when double checking and then gives no troubleshoot option.
I have an 11.04 livecd. Is there a simple guide specifically for using grub 2 to recover ubuntu 11.04 and have the option to boot either linux or windows? An important question is, should I create a partition for NTFS before starting the windows installation or will that be done as a first step anyway?
Thank you.
