I have been frustrated with this for a few days now, and I need help. I have a Sony, P4 2.4ghz, 512mb ram, and a 80gb internal hard drive, a 200gb internal hard drive, and a 500gb external hard drive.
Now, what I am trying to do is to install Ubuntu 8.04 on the external hard drive and keep my windows install on the 80gb internal hard drive. Now here is the twist. I also have another install of Windows that is Non-functioning and just appears when I boot up the computer. I have been able to successfully install Ubuntu on the external hard drive, but when I try to boot from it ( I am assuming that I just select it just like you select the windows partitions) it doesn't show up.
that is really all the information that I can or know how to give, being relatively new to Ubuntu. any help would be appreciated. And if you need any further info, just ask me.:confused:
